Cumbrae Island

Once we disembarked the ferry, we found a wonderful little community, proud of their island and wanting to promote it. Urban life is centered in the capital, Millport, which was the center of activities for our visit (the only town on the island). It's very typical to rent bikes including one with five seats, to explore the island (you can do well in a day, since it's only 4 km long by 2 km wide). The island is quite flat and the more colorful geography is focused on its periphery, with various bays and coves, beautiful views, e.g. Largs or other major islands like Bute (in the past under control of the Marquis of Bute).
