Lion Rock
Legend speaks of an ancient prehistoric rock formation born of a rivalry between good and evil.
Long ago, a group of good elves sought to connect an island to the mainland by constructing a majestic bridge, known today as Lion Rock. But their efforts drew the ire of goblins, who, in envy and spite, began building their own bridge.
Realising they were losing, the goblins abandoned their project and turned to sabotage, shattering the elves’ creation. The result? Lion Rock as we see it today—a testament to the enduring struggle between light and darkness.
The Isle of Cumbrae Distillers
The Isle of Cumbrae Distillers was established by five full and part-time “Millportonians” and made history as 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.
They create unique Scottish craft gins distilled with the highest quality botanicals, reflecting the landscape and flora of their island. Having won a number of international awards for their gins, including Gold at The Gin Masters and Bronze at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in their first year of trading, they have certainly put Millport firmly on the gin map in Scotland.
In 2024, after five incredible years, our local heroes - well, heroines - at the Isle of Cumbrae Distillery are passing the baton to a brand new leadership team! Caroline Christie and Struan Fraser from Kilwinning have now taken on full management of the distillery and will work alongside the original Fab Five of Bronwyn, Juli, Lynda, Philippa, and Jenine over the next 2-3 years to ensure a smooth transition.
