Is this really the Isle of Bute?! In this episode I take my Yamaha Tenere 700 on a full Scottish island motorcycle adventure, starting at Colintraive before hopping on the ferry across to the Isle of Bute. What follows is one of the most underrated motorcycle rides in Scotland. We begin in Rothesay exploring the historic Rothesay Castle before heading north to the incredible Mount Stuart estate. From there it’s all about the coastal roads — sweeping bends, open views and that raw Scottish island freedom feeling. Riding the shoreline past Kilchattan Bay and up toward St Blane’s Chapel, this island delivers everything an adventure rider could ask for — quiet roads, epic scenery and serious soul-reset moments. After a quick stop back in Rothesay for lunch, we push on to the iconic Pencil Box Phobe booth before finishing the journey at the stunning Ettrick Bay… and yes, we even take the Tenere 700 onto the beach. Which was my favourite part of the day!! Expect: • Epic drone shots • Insta360 X5 immersive riding shots • Dual GoPro 13 action footage • Coastal road riding • Wildlife encounters • Scottish island scenery at its best ⚫️ Most importantly a good laugh If you’re into motorcycle adventures, Scotland travel, ADV riding, or chasing freedom on two wheels — this one’s for you. This is just the beginning of this year’s Riding and it’s already unforgettable. ⸻ 📍 Locations Featured: Colintraive Ferry ⛴️ Isle of Bute 🏝️ Rothesay Castle 🏰 Mount Stuart 📸 Kilchattan Bay 🌊 St Blane’s Chapel ⛫ The Pencil box Ettrick Bay 🏖️ ⸻ 🏍️ Bike: Yamaha Tenere 700 ⸻ If you enjoyed the ride, hit that like button and subscribe for more UK motorcycle adventures. #bute #thepencilbox #visitbute #scotland #motovlog #tenere700

That was a great adventure, loved it. Some amazing drone shot's too. I near snorted my tea out my ears when you sang that wee ditty with the cow's humping.... 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I look forward every week to watching your vids, keep up the fantastic work 🥰
I just got back from a week touring the Western Isles, did Bute last Monday, weather was GLORIOUS!! Had previously watched this vid for some inspiration and hints, that Serpentine Hill road was like doing a load of U-turns while going uphill! Tide was in when I got to Ettrick bay, not that I was ever going to take my KTM890adv on the beach, I'm not that mad! 🤪🤪
