Old photograph of the Caledonian MacBrayne Ferry at Colintraive village on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Colintraive lies on the A886 road, which crosses to the Isle of Bute here. A ferry crosses the 400 yard gap to Rhubodach on Bute, giving access to the tourist town of Rothesay. The name Colintraive derives from Gaelic and means " swimming strait " or " swimming narrows ". In the past, cattle were swum over from the Isle of Bute to Colintraive on their way to the markets of lowland Scotland.
