ButeScotland’s most accessible island, home of the Brandanes, is a wonderful place to live and work. Bute has a great blend of wonderful built heritage and contrasting landscapes and seascapes with each beach as unique as the next. There is a good network of routes and quiet roads giving access to local services and visitor attractions, making it ideal for walking and cycling.
Cycling TipsLook behind youAlways look behind you before making a manoeuvre, particularly when turning right.Do not use mobiles or music systems.You need to be able to hear what is happening around you and be fully concentrated on your actions.Cycling in numbersIt is recommended that you cycle in single file and never cycle more than two bikes side by side.Never cycle on the pavementUnless it is a designated cycle lane or shared route, it is against the law to cycle on the pavement. You should walk alongside your bike.

Walking and cycling on ButeWhy Active Travel?With a recent survey showing that 70% of car journeys on Bute are less than 2 kilometres in length, there are huge potential benefits in promoting walking and cycling as alternative means of transport.If more people walk or cycle, we can:
• Ease congestion• Reduce noise pollution• Cut exhaust emissions• Improve our health
Active Travel is also a great way to relax, giving us more time to enjoy our environment and improve our work-life balance.
We hope that this map will encourage visitors and residents to make the most of cycling around and about Bute.
