Miniature railway in Bute and Millport

[Am Broc]

I was recently reading up on the tramway on the Isle of Bute/Eilean Bhòid and came across the page below on the Museum of Bute Website about a miniature railway in Ettrick Bay, Bute in the 1930s which then closed and moved over to the Isle of Cumbrae/Eilean Chumaraidh and ran for a couple of seasons in Millport in 1946/47.

I'd be really interested to find out if anybody knows where I could find out more about the railway in Millport - where it was and if there are any photos of it or where I might find out more about it.

Thanks so much! I knew about the tramway - I actually found out about the mini railway from a booklet about the tramway.

I've only seen one of the pictures of the mini-railway at Ettrick bay before so many thanks for posting them both. I wonder if there are any pictures of the Millport one out there anywhere?
