Isle Of Cumbrae
Great Cumbrae (additionally known as Great Cumbrae Island, Cumbrae or the Isle of Cumbrae) is the larger of both islands known as The Cumbraes in the lower Firth of Clyde in western Scotland. Residence 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 practically to the top, as well as a round-island road much favoured for family members cycle runs. The island is roughly 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long by 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) large, rising to a height of 127 metres (417 ft) above sea level at "The Glaid Stone" - a huge, normally taking place rock perched on the highest top on the island. There is a triangulation column close by, along with an orientation point which indicates the places of bordering sites. Millport, the island's only community, is spread around a bay which makes up the entire south coastline of the island. The normal island population of 1,376 as recorded by the 2011 census was a small loss from the 2001 figure of 1,434. The population increases considerably during the summer season vacationer period as a result of the high percentage of second houses.
