About
Venture out to the Isle of Bute with us on a day trip to stunning Kilchattan Bay! I've done this hike before and it is one of the best experiences I've had in Scotland with incredible views across to the mainland and Arran. Fingers crossed for good weather and a smooth crossing - plans will be adjusted if it looks stormy!
This event is part of LEAP Sports Festival Fortnight.
