Heading to Bute in late July. Does anybody have any good routes they'd like to share. Bought an OS map, so good to go!

Don't know about routes, but don't miss Mount Stuart House and Gardens, stunning, oh and the Black Bull in Rothesay is a good wee pub, opposite the ferry terminal.
The off road cycle way links up some great out and back routes - the OS map is a perfect companion to the cycle way guide and yes the Black Bull was fantastic for us last year. Slight midge problem when the wind drops, so just keep running/cycling and they won't get you!
A circular route mostly downhill
Jez, can I emphasise just how jaw droppingly amazing Mount Stuart house is. Even if you never go in for that sort of thing, this is worth a visit. The tour starts with a completely white marble chapel, where the sun seems to reflect of the walls onto the altar (or did when I went). It actually gets better from that. Worth a couple of hours recovery time.
