Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)
THE KYLES OF BUTE.
This is the name applied to the narrow and tortuous strait which separates the upper end of the Isle of Bute from the mainland. The winding channel is similar in some respects to the Menai Strait, but with more picturesque and varied scenery. The slopes on each side are partly wooded and partly in cultivation, everything growing luxuriantly in the balmy climate. The trip through the Kyles to Ardrishaig is one of the most favourite excursions on the Clyde, the whole voyage being almost landlocked by the islands of Bute and Arran, and the steamer passing from the Kyles into the shelter of Loch Fyne. The steamers call first at Rothesay, and also at two piers in the Kyles, the last one being that of Tighnabruaich.
