Isle Of Cumbrae
Great Cumbrae (additionally referred to as Great Cumbrae Island, Cumbrae or the Isle of Cumbrae) is the larger of both 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 and also the College Marine Biological Station, Millport, the holiday island has an 18-hole golf links which sweeps virtually to the summit, as well as a round-island road much favoured for household cycle runs. The island is roughly 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long by 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) large, rising to an elevation of 127 metres (417 feet) above sea level at "The Glaid Stone" - a big, normally taking place rock set down on the highest possible summit on the island. There is a triangulation pillar nearby, along with an orientation point which shows the places of surrounding spots. Millport, the island's only town, is spread around a bay that makes up the whole south coast 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 increases substantially during the summer tourist period due to the high percentage of 2nd residences.
