Waverley Paddle Steamer - A cruise through the Kyles of Bute aboard the Waverley Paddle Steamer is a spectacular journey through one of Scotland’s most scenic waterways. As the world’s last seagoing paddle steamer, the Waverley offers a nostalgic and unique way to experience the stunning west coast. Departing from Dunoon, the Waverley glides past historic shipyards and picturesque coastal towns before reaching the Kyles of Bute, a narrow and winding stretch of water separating the Isle of Bute from the mainland.

Oban - Known as the ‘Gateway to the Isles’, the small town is Scotland’s seafood capital and has a beautiful bay, striking because it forms a near-perfect horseshoe! Both are big reasons why it’s become Scotland's most popular west-coast holiday town!

The Caledonian Claymore Hotel - A beautiful manor house in Arrochar, perfectly positioned lock-side in the picturesque village with spectacular views.
