The University Marine Biological Station Millport (UMBSM) is a higher education institute located on the island of Great Cumbrae in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland. It is run jointly by the universities of Glasgow and London (of which it is a listed body).
Located just outside the town it has an interesting curriculum and research programme, with an influx of students throughout the academic year. A Museum and Aquarium (named after founder, David Robertson) is open to visitors. In May 2003 the station took delivery of the Macduff-built, 22 metre marine research vessel, RV Aora. UMBSM also functions as a Meteorological Office Weather Station and Admiralty Tide Monitor.
