Welcome to Bute Forest
Our forest is on the north end of Bute, near to the Colintraive-Rhubodach ferry terminal. If nature is your thing then you can see a whole variety of plants, animals, insects, fungi and protected bird species or if you're more into your history you can visit archaeological sites or the WWII decoy village bunker. You can wander anywhere in the forest and make your own discoveries or follow the waymarked paths to see some of our favourite spots.
