Great Cumbrae (the island in the middle) looks as if it has been split in 2.  The entire coastline Britain seems to be like this actually, but it seems worse around the west coast of Scotland as there are lots of islands and inlets there.  Is this just a rendering artifact?

Looks like a standard 'polyline mistakenly treated as area' rendering
artifact -- I'm not sure if there's something special here that you're
noticing or not. (I don't have enough of an idea to recognize what it
*should* look like but doesn't.)
