Rhubodach

Rhubodach is a small settlement on the Isle of Bute, Scotland.

The name Rhubodach may come from the Gaelic Rubha a’ Bodach which translates as old man’s point or promontory or alternatively may be from An Rubha Bódach meaning the Bute headland.

Rhubodach lies at the north of Bute at the termination of the A886 road. From here a small ro-ro ferry sails the short distance over the Kyles of Bute to Colintraive. The route, operated by Calmac, is reputed to be one of the shortest in Scotland still in operation.
