Wemyss Bay,Scotland

Wemyss Bay is a small village on the Firth of Clyde and is the departure point for ferries to the Isle of Bute. The history of Wemyss Bay (pronounced ‘weems’) can be traced back to the 15th century, but it was in the late 19th century that Wemyss Bay grew in popularity following the creation of the rail connection to Glasgow and the regular steamer service to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. The name of the village can be traced back to connections with the Clan Wemyss.
