Once we are at Largs we can also explore the Isle of Cumbrae –  why not take the 15 minute ferry to the Isle of Cumbrae. The pretty island is a great place plus it’s home to the Crocodile Rock and the ‘Cathedral of the Isles’; the smallest cathedral in Scotland. We have previously dived one of the Piers in Cumbrae which boast plenty of marine life.

The Isle of Cumbrae, also known as Great Cumbrae, lies on the Ayrshire coast and is roughly four miles long and two miles wide. Just a short ferry trip from Largs, Cumbrae is regarded as Scotland’s most accessible island.

Seaside town
The only settlement is Millport, a seaside town with a Victorian promenade which curves around an attractive hilly bay on the south coast. Millport is home to Britain’s smallest cathedral, the Cathedral of the Isles, which was completed in 1851 to a design by William Butterfield, one of the leading Gothic revival architects of the day.
