Join the fun!

Before Ibiza, before the Algarve, before Scotland stopped qualifying for any and every major football tournament, Millport was famous with generations of daytrippers from Glasgow as one of the resorts visited going "doon the watter" aboard a River Clyde paddle steamer.

We might not have a paddle steamer but you can still enjoy a grand day out on the 3rd of June.

Millport

For a town of its size, Millport is very well served by shops. Amongst the shops available are newsagents, grocers, craft and gift shops, clothes shops, electrical and hardware stores.

There are Indian and Chinese restaurants, two chip shops and several other restaurants making eating out easy to come by.

The Garrison House (above left) houses the Museum of the Cumbraes and the Garrison Cafe.

Millport has an 18-hole golf course, with spectacular views over the Arran hills.

Other recreational facilities include a crazy golf course and two football pitches, one at either end of the town.

For fishing, there are two fresh water reservoirs beside the golf course where fly fishing is available and excellent sea fishing, primarily for mackerel, is available. The best place for this is from the rocks at Farland Point, just inside the town limits.
