Isle Of Cumbrae
Great Cumbrae (likewise called Great Cumbrae Island, Cumbrae or the Isle of Cumbrae) is the bigger of the two islands called 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 fairway which sweeps nearly to the top, and also 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) wide, rising to a height of 127 metres (417 ft) above water level at "The Glaid Stone" - a large, normally occurring rock set down on the highest top on the island. There is a triangulation column close by, in addition to an orientation factor which suggests the places of surrounding landmarks. Millport, the island's only community, is spread around a bay that makes up the entire south coastline of the island. The typical island population of 1,376 as recorded by the 2011 census was a slight autumn from the 2001 figure of 1,434. The population raises considerably throughout the summer season vacationer period because of the high percentage of second residences.
