About Rothesay

Known for

Rothesay Castle (a magnificent 13th century circular castle, Historic Environment Scotland), the Victorian Pier (with the finest Victorian public toilets in existence), Mount Stuart (the most extraordinary Gothic mansion in Scotland), and the capital of the Isle of Bute

A little history

Rothesay Castle — a circular moated castle, unique in Scotland — was a favourite residence of Scottish kings and the seat of the Steward of Scotland. Mount Stuart, the Gothic Revival mansion built for the Marquess of Bute from 1879, is one of the most extraordinary private houses in Europe. The Victorian toilets at the pier are a genuine listed building.

Local tip

Mount Stuart is genuinely extraordinary — the marble chapel and the Gothic interiors are like nothing else in Scotland. Rothesay Castle for the unique circular plan. The Victorian toilets are a remarkable listed experience. The bay promenade.
