Enjoy sunset walks, romantic landscapes and all the best local spots on the Isle of Cumbrae in Scotland 💙
Pinned
Once upon a time, on a Scottish island sprinkled with lights, there was a path that led to seaside adventures.

Nights like these always feel like a fairytale to me, the harbour glows in that magical way Cumbrae is known for ✨

Sometimes, the best views are right outside your kitchen window. This fiery sunset over Millport is a little reminder of the everyday beauty on the West Coast. 🌅

On the way home, and doesn’t The Ritz Café Millport look so festive with its twinkling lights? 🌟

There’s something special about a rainy day stroll through town, it makes everything feel a bit more magical. 🌧️✨

This is my little niece Zoe, who’s usually my harbour buddy for night time walks.

She’s not a fan of her wee jacket, but she looks every inch the Caped Crusader, keeping an eye on town.

Goodnight everyone 💙

There’s something special about looking out at the sea with the Christmas tree sparkling beside you.

The view from my living room is my favourite place to be, what’s your favourite view at this time of year?

Craig and I decided to get into the festive spirit tonight and put the decorations up. 🎄

The tree’s twinkling, the candles are lit, and a mug of hot chocolate was definitely needed, feeling all cosy and Christmassy now! 🍫☕️

I’m not the best at early mornings, but I’ve been making a point of getting up a couple of times a week to watch the sunrise. 💖

Couldn’t resist heading out for a last walk tonight—the view from my window was just too pretty to ignore. So glad I went, it was absolutely worth it. 🌙✨

Home on Isle of Cumbrae with a view like no other 💙

This is the beauty I wake up to every day on my Scottish island, peaceful waters, endless skies, and a little slice of heaven from my living room window. 🌊🏞️

Wrapping up the day with this view, those lights reflecting on the water always feel so magical to me.

Nights like this are the perfect way to unwind ✨

Have a lovely evening everyone 💙

Craig and I have spent the last couple of days working hard on our little sea view flat, getting everything organized for Christmas.

The work on the building has just been approved, so we got the go-ahead to decorate, so exciting!

Watch this space!! 🎨

Tapas night at Luca’s on Isle of Cumbrae 🌲

The island’s very first Scottish blended malt whiskies have arrived from Isle of Cumbrae Distillers!

✨ White Label – an unpeated whisky with notes of apricot, home baking, and sticky toffee pudding.
✨ Black Label – a peated whisky with hints of maritime sweetness and salted caramel.

Snow on Cumbrae feels like stepping into a winter postcard. ❄️
Perfect weather for bundling up and taking in the magic of our island in the snow.
Have you seen snow on Cumbrae before?

I love this time of year on the island, just wandering through town at night and seeing all the Christmas lights and shop windows. Everything feels so cosy and festive, and it’s such a simple little joy.

Have you had a wee wander around where you live yet? Is it looking Christmassy?

Did you know Largs is just an hour from Glasgow? From there, it’s a quick hop on the ferry to our gorgeous Isle of Cumbrae.

If you’re making the journey, why not start with a coffee at one of my favourite spots, Riviera Largs ☕️ Then enjoy the short ferry & bus ride to our island 💙
