Brodick
Castle on the Isle of Arran stands on a south-east facing
slope above the north side of Brodick Bay. It was a
strategically important castle developed between the 1200s and the 1600s, which had an 1800s
stately home wrapped around it. The location was first used for defence by the Vikings until they

Largs in 1263. The original castle on the site was built for the Stewarts of
Menteith. ( More ...)
