The Corran (Gaelic for "point of land running into the sea") was the homestead of Alexander McNeil (1882-1932). It was a magnificent 17-room mansion built from stone mined on the 121-hectare site. The style of the home, and its position on the Niagara Escarpment high above Colpoy’s Bay were reminiscent of Alexander’s family’s estate in Northern Ireland.
Today the site, north of Wiarton, Ontario, is known as Spirit Rock Conservation Area, part of the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority and the Niagara Escarpment Program.
