In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Corrie like this:
Corrie, a village on the E coast of Arran island, Buteshire, 5½ miles N by E of Brodick. It has a post office under Ardrossan, an inn, and a small harbour; it communicates regularly with the steamers plying between Greenock and Lamlash; and it exports large quantities of limestone, quarried in the neighbourhood.
