Millport has long been a holiday spot for holidaymakers heading 'doon the watter' from Glasgow and is regularly visited by the PS Waverley, the world's last sea–going paddle–steamer. But the only town on the island of Great Cumbrae in the Firth of Clyde – just a mile from the Scottish mainland and a ten-minute ferry trip from Largs – is also home to a close-knit community of around 1300 people. s1millport.com has been developed to allow residents share their news, views and opinions, make announcements, publicise events and show off their photos and videos.
