The island of Arran is of great interest to "them 'as likes rocks" (also known as geologists). Amongst the rock formations in the vicinity of Corrie is Corrie Limestone, a Carboniferous Period basal member of the Lower Limestone succession of the Midland Valley of Scotland.
This limestone is found at many localities in central Scotland and has a variety of names. In the vicinity of Glasgow the rock is known as Hurlet Limestone, named after the village of Hurlet, bordering Renfrewshire and Glasgow.
