Bute Airfield is a small grass airstrip on the Isle of Bute in the Firth of Clyde, close to Rothesay in North Ayrshire, Scotland. Its single grass runway makes it a modest but characterful destination for visiting light aircraft exploring the west coast of Scotland.
Bute Airfield sits on the Isle of Bute, a modest grass strip serving general aviation traffic in the Firth of Clyde. Its island setting and short single runway give it a distinctly rural, low-key character that appeals to pilots seeking an out-of-the-way VFR destination rather than a busy training or commercial field.
The airfield is situated on the Isle of Bute, near the town of Rothesay in North Ayrshire, Scotland, at coordinates 55.7569, -5.0481 and an elevation of 36 feet.
Bute Airfield has a single grass runway, 09/27, measuring 1806 feet in length. There is no instrument landing system, and the runway is unlit.
The airfield is also recorded under the name Bute (Baird) in aviation heritage records, with historical photographs of the runway documented in 2006 and 2013.
Bute Airfield continues to be used by general aviation, with organisations connected to the site as recorded in aviation heritage listings.
