A short break on Bute and it was a lovely day for a walk just above the village.

We headed from the hotel up the hill and followed the route to Canada Hill viewpoint. It was a gentle incline, past a golf course and then opening to wonderful views from the summit.

We then descended past a riding school and took a bit of a detour trying to find Ardencraig gardens then we returned through a lovely woodland path back to the main road.
A great wee walk with nice views of Bute to get our bearings.
