Buttock Point

Drop anchor off Buttock Point, one of the most wonderfully named spots in Scottish waters, sitting at the edge of the Kyles of Bute in Argyll. The scenery here is quietly dramatic — you're looking across to the Isle of Bute with the hills of Loch Riddon as your backdrop, and if you time it right, snow-capped peaks complete the picture. Worth noting: tidal flows run through the Kyles, so keep an eye on the currents when you're choosing your spot.
