Our wee island home
If you’ve visited Cumbrae, you’ll know what a lovely wee place it is. And if you haven’t, we’d love to welcome you!
Just a short ferry trip from Largs, our island is a place to slow down, take in the sea air and enjoy a little time to yourself.
Millport curves around the bay, with sandy beaches, a lovely promenade and little independent shops to explore. There’s the beautiful Cathedral of the Isles too, tucked away from the seafront.
A cycle round the island is a favourite with visitors. It’s roughly ten miles, but there’s no hurry. Stop to admire the views, visit one of our great cafes, restaurants or pubs or simply find a quiet spot by the shore.
This is where I’ve been handmaking my soaps and candles since 2011. Thank you for supporting my wee island business. It really does mean so much to me.

Our Story
Since 2011, Amanda has been handmaking every product from her workshop on the Isle of Cumbrae, off Scotland’s west coast. From soaps and candles to diffusers and room sprays, each one reflects the care, skill and experience she brings to her craft.
Her belief is simple: exceptional quality should be for everyone. At Isle of Cumbrae Soaps and Candles, you’ll find handmade favourites for everyday rituals and thoughtful gifts, at prices that make sense.
Thank you for supporting Amanda and our small island business.
