🏆 WHAT A NIGHT AT THE THISTLE AWARDS! 🏆

We might not have brought the trophy back to Millport this time, but we are absolutely delighted that Mapes of Millport was named one of the Top 3 finalists for Best Outdoor or Adventure Experience.

To have our wee island business, now celebrating its 80th year, recognised alongside some fantastic tourism businesses from across the region is something we're incredibly proud of.

A huge congratulations to Gallus Pedals, Glasgow, who took home the award, and to our fellow finalists Central Scotland Adventures. It was a brilliant category with some fantastic businesses represented.

And a particularly big congratulations to our fellow Cumbrae business Jack's Alt-Stays , who had an incredible night, winning both of their categories! 👏

🏆 Best Accommodation or Unique Stay
🌱 Climate Action Award

Two awards coming back to our wee island is something well worth celebrating!

There were so many amazing entrants across all the categories and it was a fantastic event recognising the people and businesses working hard to make Scottish tourism what it is.

We're very proud to have been part of it — 80 years in business and still making the Top 3! ❤️

Congratulations to all the finalists and winners, and thank you to everyone who continues to support Mapes of Millport.

Not a bad night for Cumbrae! 🏝️

When a review like this comes in, it reminds us why we do what we do. ❤️

Thank you so much, Brian, for taking the time to leave such kind words after your visit. Reviews like this genuinely mean the world to our whole team.

Saturday wasn't just another busy day... as far as we know, it was the busiest day in Mapes of Millport's 80-year history.

The queues were long, the workshop was flat out, the phones never stopped ringing, and our hire fleet barely stood still. But what made Deborah and I proud wasn't how busy we were—it was how our team responded.

Every single member of the team stepped up.

They looked after our customers with professionalism, patience and a smile, they supported one another throughout the day, and they never stopped working until the last customer had been looked after.

Was it challenging? Absolutely.

Did we get through it? We certainly did.

Seeing reviews like Brian's tells us we achieved exactly what we set out to do—making sure every customer still received the level of service we'd expect ourselves.

A huge thank you to William, Edward, Adam, Olachan, David, Liam, Charlie and Finnan. You should all be incredibly proud of what you achieved.

And finally, thank you to every single customer who visited us, queued patiently, smiled, and made our busiest day in 80 years one to remember.

Here's to the years to come! 🚲❤️
