millport 2025 almost a year since the last trip i went back to millport one of my favourite day trips by public transport from glasgow the sun and the day trippers were out and everything was looking good the ritz cafe was open and i got to enjoy a toastie in its magnificent formica surroundings it is currently for sale hope it finds a sympathetic owner the crazy golf course has had a makeover and the yarnbombing was spring themed this time it was another grand day out how to get there the ferry operated by calmac runs from largs to cumbrae regularly throughout the day the crossing takes around 10 minutes millport is very bike friendly so a lot of people cycle round the island it s easy to hire a bike there if that s not for you a bus runs to millport from the ferry slip trains between glasgow and largs run every hour or so the journey takes around an hour categories scotland travel tags ferries islands knitting shopfronts posted on may 14 2025 may 15 2025 by admin millport 2024 millport is the main and only town on great cumbrae a small island off the west coast of scotland it s one of the easiest scottish islands to get to from glasgow and is great for a day trip the ferry from largs takes about 10 minutes and runs frequently millport is a short bus or bike ride from the slipway this trip was around the time of the coronation and the decorations were out crocodile rock had been freshly painted it is also home to a fine crazy golf course everything was technicolour bright i was going over to visit the magnificent ritz cafe which was closed but there were plenty of other sights to enjoy the cathedral of the isles is the uk s smallest working cathedral and there s lots of local history in garrison house a grand day out category scotland tags crazy golf ferries islands shopfronts posted on october 13 2024 by admin nightmares in wax i love waxworks when they are good they re very very good and when they re bad they re even better i ve been hooked since experiencing the famously terrible louis tussaud s house of wax in great yarmouth and never miss a waxworks if there s one to visit the national wax museum plus in dublin is a mix of waxworks and ripley s believe it or not type exhibits believe it or not this is footballer and heartthrob george best the waxworks are mainly famous irish people which is great as you have jedward rubbing shoulders with oscar wilde a perturbed samuel beckett lurks by a fire exit it s hard to tell if this placement is an afterthought or a sophisticated joke irish music is well represented with a very flattering u2 unrecognisable bob geldof and a truly insulting van morrison the recently added sinead o connor waxwork had to be removed after causing an outcry in the basement there are waxworks from irish history and a house of horrors at times it s hard to tell between the two goes without saying that it s really really worth a visit more photos in this flickr set the national wax museum plus dublin category travel tags dublin waxworks posted on september 22 2024 by admin three by three category design tags mull signs posted on july 27 2024 july 27 2024 by admin words don t come easy i ve been writing and editing for such a long time now that i m well trained in the art of brevity so i enjoy finding signs that don t obey the rules the disruptors and mavericks mixing things up a bit wordy slightly long winded they meander to the point this one might be better as a map but i m glad it s this very stolid and highly legible sign this one is like the before part of a plain english exercise i can feel the red pen itching to come out it made me slow down and appreciate the objects and this one oh boy you get a clear picture of the person who wrote it i am relieved to report i was not taking small children into the museum and no valuable exhibits were harmed category inner hebrides tags islands mull signs posted on june 26 2024 june 26 2024 by admin mull museum mull museum on the main street in tobermory is a real treat free entry and so much to see inside housed in a former baker s shop it is one room crammed full of all kinds of stuff the handwritten display captions are particularly fine including this crazy wall explaining the history of mull s ferry crossings it feels like somewhere that will be modernised at some point if not closed down completely so enjoy it while it lasts categories inner hebrides travel tags islands mull tobermory posted on june 16 2024 june 16 2024 by admin ulva ulva is another island off the coast of mull it s community owned with an interesting history much bigger than iona there is more to explore and if you fancy full day s walk ulva is linked by bridge to gometra an island off an island off an island off an island getting to ulva is fun because you summon the ferry by sliding a cover across a wall facing the island to display a red square i m pretty sure the ferryman can see who s waiting anyway but it s fun to follow the procedure and feel all powerful when the little boat that s like something out of thunderbirds makes its way across the short stretch of water sheila s cottage close to the ferry tells the story of life on ulva in a traditional thatched cottage it was closed for refurbishment when we visited but was suitably atmospheric from the outside there are no cars on ulva there are no paved roads to put them on there are plenty of walks though we did a shortish walk to see a church designed by thomas telford i found it a bit of a trudge to be honest possibly because it headed inland on rough tracks or perhaps i was just spoilt after a beautiful day on iona beside the ferry landing on ulva the boathouse does cakes and meals and is a great place to watch the comings and goings on the water for ferry times and some truly beautiful photos follow the ulva ferry on facebook or theulvaferry on instagram categories inner hebrides scotland tags ferries islands mull ulva posted on june 12 2024 june 12 2024 by admin to iona the isle of iona lies just off the south west coast of mull the ferry leaves from fionnphort a pretty wee place with a particularly stunning beach above the ferry takes 10 minutes and runs frequently cars are only allowed on iona with a permit that must be organised in advance famous as the cradle of christianity since st columba arrived in 563 there are various landmarks like the ruins of the 13th century nunnery st oran s chapel below and the abbey john smith the former labour leader is buried in the churchyard iona is a relatively small island 1 5 miles wide by 3 miles long the main attractions are fairly close to the ferry slipway and beyond that there are longer walks and beautiful white beaches there s an interesting mix of locals tourists and pilgrims floating about lots of international accents in this remote corner of scotland iona is often described as a thin place where the gap between heaven and earth is closer than usual like holy island and holy isle i didn t feel that i m not religious but it was extraordinarily beautiful i ve never seen a colour palette like it with the blue sea and the salmon coloured rocks offset against the rugged yellows and browns of the hills i understand what people mean now about it being a place that stays with you categories inner hebrides scotland travel tags inner hebrides iona islands mull posted on june 5 2024 june 5 2024 by admin ardalanish weavers ardalanish weavers is on mull and is worth a detour off the main road to fionnphort near bunessan this is a long standing family weaving business similar to the islay woollen mill where not only can you buy woollen products but you can see them being made too ardalanish s speciality is naturally dyed wools this yellow yarn gets its colour from daffodils and the orange one is from madder if you want to get into natural dyes snapdragon life is very educational on how to do this and get great results the hues and gradients are really beautiful the weaving room is full of old industrial looms in good working order and paraphernalia like bobbins and empty yarn cones the looms were quiet when we visited all the better to nose around we had an enthusiastic guide and the ardalanish website also has a great explanation of the weaving process it s always good to see old machines being looked after and making something wonderful the shop sells blankets and jumpers and some food products from the farm i bought some wool dyed with madder to knit a scarf i saw in a film a project for the winter categories inner hebrides scotland tags islands mull weaving posted on may 29 2024 may 29 2024 by admin the long road to mull i had a little break in mull and went the long way round to get there when you can explore new bits of scotland and ride on new ferries why not take a bit longer the trip from glasgow along the banks of loch lomond and through glencoe was beautiful everything looked rugged and dramatic at this time of year still with its winter coat on instead of going to oban and getting the big ferry to craignure we got the smaller corran ferry that links the main part of the mainland to morvern ardnamurchan and beyond this is a tireless little car and passenger ferry run by highland council set up for speed and convenience it runs fairly constantly for most of the day taking about 5 minutes to cross impressive the road to ardnamurchan point was quiet and scenic with some beautiful views over the water ardnamurchan distillery is worth a look its dancing scotsman mascot comes from an old punch cartoon at the end of the road ardnamurchan lighthouse sits on a headland looking over the westernmost point of the british mainland the egyptian style lighthouse is a real beauty eclipsed from some angles by its fabulous bright red foghorn there is a great book called the foghorn s lament by jennifer lucy allen that explains why foghorns are disappearing it was a treat to see one in such magnificent condition last leg of the journey was the ferry from kilchoan on ardnamurchan to the isle of mull this takes 35 minutes and delivers you right into the centre of tobermory the main town it s a turn up and go service that can t be booked we got lucky and turned up just in time to catch the last one categories inner hebrides scotland travel tags ferries inner hebrides islands lighthouses
