A wee trip to Millport to visit Isle of Cumbrae Distillers
Fancy a wee G&T? Well, our good friends at Isle of Cumbrae Distillers have got you covered.
Isle of Cumbrae Distillers is was started by a unique team of 5 full and part-time “Millportonians”, distinctively positioned as being one of the few all-female distilling teams in Scotland, and the only international women’s team, drawing representation from the UK, Canada and the USA.
The idea began to blossom during Thursday quiz nights at the ‘Twa Dugs’ local bar, but quickly developed into the Isle of Cumbrae’s first-ever distillery. The distillery was officially launched in September 2019 and, since then, has been a roaring success.
The team named their flagship gin “NostalGin” as it embodies the heritage of Millport as well as the Scottish Island experience. The gin itself has flavours of lavender, fresh island bramble and a hint of sweet orange.
They also released their second "Croc Rock" gin in April 2021, appropriately named after the island's iconic Crocodile Rock.
Coming soon in November 2022 is the Restoration Gin, to help raise funds to regenerate Millport's beloved Town Hall.
Currently, the lovely group have their store open in Millport town and have been running gin tastings and tours since Summer 2021. As part of their plan for the future, they also hope to offer cocktail-making, lamp-making, and other workshops - so stay tuned!

A cracking wee island! 🏝
I think the shortest boat ride in Scotland is to the north side of the Isla of Bute you can get a boat from the North side of the Isle of Bute. I was on the Isle of Cambrae on Wednesday I went to the highest point there.

That's awesome to hear! The views from the top are nothing short of spectacular! According to the Scotsman, the Seil - Luing route (Distance: 280 metres) is the shortest ferry crossing in Scotland. This ferry crosses the Cuan Sound to connect Seil with Luing, two of the Slate Islands which lie immediately off the coast of Argyll. Seil has been connected to the mainland via the Clachan Bridge since the 18th century, allowing visitors easy access from nearby Oban. The onward journey across to Luing, which has a population of around 195, is a short maritime excursion in comparison. (Scotsman)
