PS Waverly at Rothesay Isle of Bute
BUTE might not be the first place that springs to mind when you think of taking a walk ‘on the wild side’. But you’d be surprised! Mention Bute and many people immediately think of Rothesay, and not with any very great enthusiasm.
For, yes, Rothesay is struggling in the face of a long, slow decline that started with the shift to sunshine holidays abroad in the 1960s; a decline later exacerbated by its loss of county status in 1975.
