With a population of around 1500 it is one of the most densely populated in the country. Traditionally it thrived on the tourist trade and day trippers coming from Glasgow, with Millport as the centre resort with cinema, fun-fair, shops and hotels with lovely views of Arran. The island features a number of geological dykes and fissures, one of which is known as the Lion Rock.
