Isle Of Cumbrae

Great Cumbrae (additionally referred to as Great Cumbrae Island, Cumbrae or the Isle of Cumbrae) is the bigger of both islands known as The Cumbraes in the reduced Firth of Clyde in western Scotland. Home 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 fairway which brushes up nearly to the summit, and also a round-island road much favoured for household cycle runs. The island is approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long by 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) vast, rising to a height of 127 metres (417 feet) over sea level at "The Glaid Stone" - a big, naturally taking place rock perched on the highest summit on the island. There is a triangulation pillar close by, as well as an alignment point which suggests the locations of surrounding landmarks. Millport, the island's only town, is spread around a bay that makes up the entire south shore of the island. The usual island population of 1,376 as recorded by the 2011 census was a minor loss from the 2001 number of 1,434. The population boosts considerably during the summer traveler period due to the high proportion of second homes.
