Situation
Mecknoch is situated on the favoured western side of the pretty and popular Island of Bute on the west coast of Scotland.

From its south and western facing vantage point there are quite stunning land and waterscape views which include, the island of Inchmarnock, the Ardlamont Peninsula, the Island of Arran with Goat Fell and further south to the Kintyre Peninsula.

Rothesay, which is 5.1 miles to the east has thriving shopping, leisure and educational facilities including a larger sized Co-op. Caledonian MacBrayne operates a frequent ferry service to Wemyss Bay, which has direct rail links to Glasgow. A second ferry service runs between Rhubodach on the north of Bute to Colintraive giving access to Argyll and the West Highlands.

The two nearest airports are Glasgow and Prestwick, which are a circa 40 and 50 minutes’ drive respectively in normal driving conditions from Wemyss Bay.

Leisure
Rothesay has an 18 hole golf course which enjoys outstanding views of the Firth of Clyde and Arran. Smaller courses are at Port Bannatyne and Kingarth. Bute is an area of significant natural beauty and mild climate, with many opportunities for coastal and hill walking and mountain biking. Fresh water and sea fishing are available, and there are shooting and stalking opportunities. The island has its own grass airstrip for light aircraft and microlights.

Sailing
The area is notable for its sailing on the famous Kyles of Bute, which is a National Scenic Area. Tighnabruaich and Colintraive to the north, and the Crinan Canal and Tarbert to the West, are centres of lively sailing activity throughout the season. There are marinas, sheltered moorings, chandlery and boating services on the island in Rothesay, and Port Bannatyne.
