Millport (Scottish Gaelic: Port a' Mhuilinn) is the only town on the island of Great Cumbrae in the Firth of Clyde off the coast of mainland Scotland, in the council area of North Ayrshire. The town is 4 miles (6 km) south of the ferry terminal that links the island to the Scottish mainland with a ferry crossing time of ten minutes. The town is the location of the Episcopal Cathedral of the Isles completed in 1851, a museum, and "the world's narrowest house".
