| Catacol Around the bay, at ease, the green cat sleeps His paws and tail coil in Kilbrannan Sound His heather'd head its guardian posture keeps His pebble claws in playful tides are drown'd Within his belly's curve twelve houses lie Held snug in wood-furr'd flank and muscl'd knoll From Eastern winds. A drowsy sun climbs high Above the barren lairs of Catacol But once the clouds converge in purple threat And fierce Atlantic gales scar ocean's face When scowling skies bring colour-leaching wet The supine form throws off its peaceful grace Within the mists of blindly driving rain The wild cat glow'rs and spits in rage again E.M.C. |

| Isle of Arran A fascinating and often surprising island that never ceases to exert its unique magic on visitors of all generations. Only 20 miles long and 56 miles around its coastline, Arran is often described as "Scotland in miniature". Reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands, the granite peaks and deep valleys in the north of the island contrast with the rolling heather-clad moorlands of the south. Around the coast are sandy bays punctuated by dark caves and overlooked by cliffs. |
