*************

Corrie (Scottish Gaelic: An Coire) is a village on the north east coast of the Isle of Arran in Scotland, 6 miles (9.7 km) north of Brodick. It lies 2 miles (3.2 km) due east under the island's highest mountain, Goat Fell. A path from High Corrie ³/₄ mile (1.2 km) to the south, provides access to the hillside. Corrie, and its northern neighbour, Sannox, lie approximately halfway between Brodick and Lochranza.

The village used to be a regular stop for steamers circumnavigating the island, passengers embarking by way of a rowing boat from the ""ferry rock"". The ferry rock is located midway between the village's two quays. The southernmost quay is known as the ""sandstone quay"". This harbour and quay used to be the location where sandstone blocks from the nearby quarry were shipped to the mainland, and huge pieces of stone can still be seen. The northernmost quay is ""Corrie port"" and was also used for shipping products to other locations on the island, the mainland and other islands. Small coastal cargo vessels of a type known as the Clyde puffer were a common sight in the port and the sandstone quay during their heyday. There was also a limestone ""mine"" in the village, which has a roof lined with fossils of Gigantoproductus.

Just to the north of Corrie's close neighbour, Sannox, the main A841 road leaves the shore and climbs north west over North Glen Sannox towards Lochranza. Corrie Golf Club is located here which was founded in 1892. This 9 hole, 3896 yard hillside course offers magnificent views over the Firth of Clyde and the Arran mountains.

Population has been falling: in January 2008, only 15 pupils attended the village's primary school, and the number was expected to further drop to 5 by 2012.^[1]

High Corrie, nestling above the village, has long been favoured by artists and was home to Robert McLellan.^{[citation needed]}
