Caledonian MacBrayne's BUTE on passage from Rothesay (Isle of Bute, Firth of Clyde) for Wemyss Bay

Contributed by Sandra B.  (Site Administrator)

BUTE leaving Rothesay.    I overheard a foreign visitor trying to pronounce Rothesay.  It is "ROTH" as in a "moth" and then "SAY" ... as in to say something.   So it is pronounced as "Roth-say" and forget all about the "e" in it's name.

Passing the town of Toward (and Toward Lighthouse.)   Incidentally this town is pronounced "tow" as in a "cow" ... then "ard" .... so it's just like "coward" but starting with a "t"
