Bute-ful day

Weather is good wind is low I'm off to Bute for the day on the road bike.
Phoned Tom and we caught the 9.30 calmac ferry Wemyss Bay to Rothsay.
We decided it might be interesting to visit some places off the beaten track so we headed up to Kilmichael on the far northwest of the island. The track only goes as far as the farm but gives a great view across to Tighnabruach, from there we retraced our route to Ettrick bay cafe for some early lunch.
Next stop was St Ninians point where we walked the last kilometre out to the old chapel, there was a huge amout of shells at the high water mark and the point is very nearly an island as both rocky beaches overlap.
At Scalpie Bay we spotted a few seals out on the rocks but I don't recommend going down to the beach on the footpath below Tarmore hill, its unridable, and the bike keeps wanting to dash off down the slippy slope.
We stopped again at Kingarth Pub for a refreshment before cycling through Mount Stewart estate back to Rothsay and the 4pm boat.
