Congratulations to To mkPerry from North America well done for being FTF !


A surprising feature of Corrie is that it boasts two separate harbours, just over half a mile apart. There was also a substantial pier at Sannox. The more northerly of Corrie's two harbours is often called Corrie Port and was the stopping off point of the steamers that, from the mid 1800s, linked many of Arran's coastal villages with a wider network of Clyde ports. Today, Corrie Port is home to a couple of small boats and to a replica Viking longboat in regular use by the Arran Viking Society. Historically, the harbour here was also associated with the export of limestone quarried from caves in the hillside above. The more southerly of Corrie's two harbours is known as Sandstone Quay, and was where the sandstone dug from a nearby quarry was loaded onto puffers for shipment to the mainland. Today it is the largest and best used of the harbours along this stretch of coastline. The pier at Sannox was also built to allow mineral extraction. This was where barytes mined in Glen Sannox was brought for shipping. A barytes mine was first opened in 1840 and operated until 1860. It was then reopened in about 1920 and connected to the pier by a light railway. The barytes mine eventually ceased operation when the barytes ran out in 1938. sadly the pier is no longerin existence however there is a small quay in the middle of the village which is frequently used by fishermen.
