Isle Of Cumbrae
Great Cumbrae (additionally known as Great Cumbrae Island, Cumbrae or the Isle of Cumbrae) is the bigger of the two islands referred to as The Cumbraes in the lower Firth of Clyde in western Scotland. Residence to the National Watersports Centre, the Cathedral of the Isles and the College Marine Biological Station, Millport, the holiday island has an 18-hole golf links which sweeps nearly to the summit, and also a round-island road much favoured for family members cycle runs. The island is approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long by 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) large, rising to an elevation of 127 metres (417 ft) over water level at "The Glaid Stone" - a big, normally occurring rock perched on the highest possible summit on the island. There is a triangulation pillar nearby, as well as an orientation point which shows the areas of bordering landmarks. Millport, the island's only community, is spread around a bay which makes up the entire south shore of the island. The typical island population of 1,376 as recorded by the 2011 census was a small fall from the 2001 figure of 1,434. The population raises substantially throughout the summer season tourist period as a result of the high proportion of 2nd residences.
