Alex-Carol: ISLE of ARRAN / Corrie...

Here we are in Corrie, 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Brodick. The land here rises from the sea to the summit of the 874m or 2,867ft Goatfell in a little
over two miles, making the village closely confined to the shore by the steeply rising ground behind it. A surprising feature of Corrie is that it boasts two separate harbours, a sign of a much more industrial past. Today's
Corrie can simply seem like a very pretty drive past on the road from Brodick to Lochranza. But if you take the time to look, you do begin to appreciate an extremely charming and interesting village which has made the most of it's beautiful coastal location. It also helps to look out for some of the detail, like the sculpture of a seal on a rock below the high tide mark near the Corrie Hotel, and the unusual bollards found at Sandstone Quay, shaped - and painted - to resemble sheep!

One of the things that...

Maybe quirkiest of all...a Dr McCredy had this bath cut into the rocks on the shore at Corrie in 1835 to treat his patients with seawater therapy from the high tide waters. It measures 12ft long and 5ft wide and is 5ft deep.
