Welcome to Millport and the Isle of Cumbrae 2012
 
Situated just off Ayrshire coast in the beautiful Firth of Clyde, the Island of Great Cumbrae is Scotland's most accessible island. With ferries every 15 minutes in the summer season taking just 10 minutes from the seaside town of Largs to reach the Island, there is no excuse for not sampling the delights of this unique destination.

The island is unique in so many different ways; it is home to the Scottish National Watersports Centre which offers courses to suit all ages and abilities; the UK’s smallest Cathedral, dates from 1851 and is a beautiful building set in tranquil surroundings; The Marine Research Station is internationally renowned and it houses a museum and aquarium which are well worth a visit; the magnificently restored Garrison House contains a public library and a courtyard café.

The location itself, with its safe and sheltered beaches, boats riding at anchor in the bays and spectacular views across to the mountains of Arran, make it unique in Scotland, yet it can be reached in just over 60 minutes from Glasgow.

Millport is the location for all ages - Kids have safe beaches and rockpools to enjoy along with outdoor and indoor amusements and football pitches to use. For the adults it can be a nostalgic stroll along the prom or a walk across the hills to Fintry Bay, a game of golf on our excellent course with dramatic views across the Clyde to the islands of Bute and Arran or Bowls on Millport's superbly maintained greens. With around 1000 bicycles for hire on the island and very few hills the island is a paradise for cyclists.

The Isle of Cumbrae has something for everyone so why not come and try it out - Make it your chosen destination for 2012.
