The Kyles of Bute are perfect for kayaking. The safe sheltered waters of the Kyles of Bute with the open water to the south dominated by the mountains of Arran, make the area a first class destination for kayakers. All are very welcome to stay at Carry Farm where there is plenty of space for safe boat storage and launching your kayak , with access for a car to get to the shore.
