Little Cumbrae
Little Cumbrae Tour
Join us as we visit the beautiful island - Wee Cumbrae!
Known locally as ‘wee Cumbrae’, Little Cumbrae lies barely a kilometre to the south of its larger neighbour, Great Cumbrae. Little Cumbrae is a rough and rocky island, more like a Hebridean island than to some of its neighbours in the Clyde.
Little Cumbrae for many years was uninhabited, the island is now being looked after by two residential caretakers, Peter and Linda.
A simple tower house of the 15th century rises through 3 storeys to a checkered corbel wall equipped with rounds. The entrance is at first floor level by means of an external wooden stair. The walls are pierced by gun loops and the tower was once surrounded by a rampart and ditch. It was burned by Cromwell in 1653 and was ruinous but is now in splendid condition though unoccupied.
With beautiful views and stunning walking trails, this is the perfect day out for those who love an adventure.
