Isle Of Cumbrae
Great Cumbrae (likewise known as Great Cumbrae Island, Cumbrae or the Isle of Cumbrae) is the bigger of the two islands known as The Cumbraes in the reduced Firth of Clyde in western Scotland. Residence to the National Watersports Centre, the Cathedral of the Isles as well as the University Marine Biological Station, Millport, the holiday island has an 18-hole golf course which sweeps almost to the top, 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) wide, rising to an elevation of 127 metres (417 feet) over sea level at "The Glaid Stone" - a huge, normally taking place rock perched on the highest top on the island. There is a triangulation pillar close by, in addition to an alignment factor which shows the areas of bordering landmarks. Millport, the island's only town, is spread around a bay which makes up the whole south coastline of the island. The typical island population of 1,376 as recorded by the 2011 census was a small loss from the 2001 figure of 1,434. The population raises significantly throughout the summer season traveler season as a result of the high percentage of second houses.
