Isle Of Cumbrae
Great Cumbrae (additionally referred to 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. House to the National Watersports Centre, the Cathedral of the Isles as well as the College Marine Biological Station, Millport, the holiday island has an 18-hole golf course which sweeps virtually to the top, and a round-island road much favoured for family members cycle runs. The island is about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long by 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) vast, rising to an elevation of 127 metres (417 ft) above water level at "The Glaid Stone" - a huge, normally occurring rock perched on the highest possible top on the island. There is a triangulation column nearby, along with an alignment point which suggests the areas of bordering sites. Millport, the island's only community, is spread around a bay that makes up the whole south coastline of the island. The normal island population of 1,376 as recorded by the 2011 census was a minor autumn from the 2001 number of 1,434. The population raises considerably throughout the summer visitor season due to the high percentage of 2nd residences.
