Isle Of Cumbrae
Great Cumbrae (also called Great Cumbrae Island, Cumbrae or the Isle of Cumbrae) is the bigger of both islands referred to as The Cumbraes in the reduced Firth of Clyde in western Scotland. House 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, and a round-island road much favoured for family members cycle runs. The island is approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long by 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) large, rising to an elevation of 127 metres (417 ft) above water level at "The Glaid Stone" - a huge, normally happening rock perched on the greatest top on the island. There is a triangulation column nearby, in addition to a positioning factor which suggests the locations 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 small fall from the 2001 number of 1,434. The population increases significantly throughout the summer season tourist season as a result of the high percentage of second homes.
