📌 Town on the Isle of Great Cumbrae
★★★
For anyone fancying a traditional, Scottish day at the seaside, look no further than Millport. Once a popular holiday destination for Glaswegian shipyard workers going “doon the watter”, this small, island town still ticks all the boxes for a jaunt – even if it hasn’t really moved with the times. Old-fashioned attractions include crazy golf on the esplanade, cycling around the island, and a sandy beach with the painted oddity of Crocodile Rock poking above the high tide mark. And some particularly small-scale attractions: Britain’s narrowest house, its smallest cathedral, and (probably) one of its smallest aquariums. Frequent buses connect the town with the slipway where the ferries from nearby Largs arrive, so there’s no need to bring your car across.
