📌 Rothesay, Isle of Bute
★★★
Set apart from the rest of Rothesay‘s numerous attractions, Ardencraig Gardens is a (very) small but beautiful walled garden owned by the local council. The pair of flowerbeds are a riot of colour in summer, with views over the Firth of Clyde from the upper end, and there’s also a little aviary. If the weather’s good and you’ve time to spare, we recommend walking here from Rothesay town centre; pleasant paths wind through Bogany Wood from the top of the Serpentine Road: about a mile each way with 100 metres of ascent from the sea front.
