Kyles of Bute

The Kyles of Bute (Scottish Gaelic: Na Caoil Bhòdach) is a narrow sea channel which separates the northern end of the Isle of Bute from the Cowal peninsula, part of the Scottish mainland. After our crossing on the ferry from Bute, we made our way along the east bank of Loch Riddon, and stopped at this viewpoint on the western side, the view here looking down the Loch. At the end of the Loch can be seen the Burnt Islands, individually known by their Gaelic names, they are Eilean Mòr (Large Island), Eilean Fraoich (Heather Island) and Eilean Buidhe (Yellow Island). Beyond the Islands is Bute, and the headland jutting out is where the ferry crosses; you may just be able to make out the ferry leaving Bute in the closer view of V2.
