Millport

Millport is the only town or settlement of the stunning Isle of Cumbrae. It is based around a picturesque Victorian promenade, which curves around a stretch of sandy bays. With the island being so small and only having one town, Millport is used more generally to refer to the whole island.
Millport has many great activities to do, from walking or cycling round the island, enjoying the great scenery or exploring its history and heritage.
The smaller island just off the coast is referred to as Little Cumbrae. Together, they are known in as The Cumbraes and referred to as the Kumreyiar in the Norse Saga of Haakon Haakonarson.
Millport is also home Britain’s smallest cathedral, the Cathedral of the Isles. This was completed in 1851 and designed by William Butterfield, one of the leading Gothic revival architects of the day.
Another building with an interesting history is Garrison House. This striking Gothic building, is now home to the Museum of the Cumbraes and the Garrison House Café, as well as the local library and council offices.
There are plenty of amenities in Millport such as places to eat out, shops, a garage and bike hire shops.
