INFORMATION

about MILLPORT
and The Isle of Cumbrae

MILLPORT is the only town on the Isle of Cumbrae, which is a 10 minute ferry journey from LARGS – in the Firth of Clyde.

The island itself is only 10.25 miles around, offers breathtaking scenery from quiet roads and the easily accessible shoreline, and is a perfect setting for a family holiday. There are clean sandy beaches, and rocky outcrops with lots of pools to explore. Seabirds abound, as do seals, and other wildlife thrives in the unspoiled island haven. It boasts the smallest Cathedral in the British Isles, and the new Museum is now open in the magnificent re-built Garrison Building. It also has a hospital.

Cycling is a favourite pastime, and 1 Guildford Street is right next to Mapes Cycle Hire Shop (01475 530444).

There are spectacular views from the 9 hole Golf Course, to which visitors are very welcome, as it is situated at the top of the island. (01475 530305 - Starter 530306 - Secretary)

The Bowling Club also welcomes visitors. (07960 228 695)

Sailing is catered for at either the Cumbrae National Watersports Centre (01475 530757) – or in Largs at Largs Yacht Haven – (01475 675333) and the Scottish Sailing Institute – (01475 670011)

Diving off various wrecks around Cumbrae is popular, and the dive shop of C&C Marine in Largs Yacht Haven supplies equipment, compressed air, tuition & Sea Safaris. (01475 687180)

Walking on Cumbrae is gaining in popularity, owing to the fact that it is not very hilly, and has a good selection of short and easy walks available.

Children’s Playground facilities are good, with grassy areas for playing football.

MILLPORT is MAGIC !
It is known as “The Friendly Island” - so come over soon !
