Brodick is the main settlement on the Isle of Arran, in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland. It is halfway along the east coast of the island, in Brodick Bay below Goat Fell, the tallest mountain on Arran. The name is derived from Norse roots meaning Broad Bay.
The harbour receives the main ferry between Arran and the mainland via Ardrossan. Brodick Castle is a former residence of the Dukes of Hamilton. Brodick is one of the largest settlements on the island and is seen as the main hub due to the ferry terminal which connects the island to the mainland, the town is host to hotels, shops, many homes, health centre, nursing home, heritage museum, tourist information centre, Brodick castle and a public beach and park.
Brodick has the Isle of Arran's main ferry terminus which connects Brodick to Ardrossan on the mainland and thence the national rail network. The ferries are operated by Caledonian MacBrayne. MV Caledonian Isles plies this route year-round, with MV Isle of Arran providing additional sailings during the summer. The crossing generally takes less than 1 hour. The route is one of the busiest crossings on the CalMac network, and dolphins and basking sharks can often be spotted en route. A second, smaller ferry - MV Catriona - sails from Lochranza to Claonaig on the Kintyre peninsula from March to October.
The town is connected to all parts of the island by road including to all major settlements Lamlash, and Whiting Bay to the south, Lochranza to the North and Blackwaterfoot to the west. A new upgraded Bus Terminal opened in Brodick at the new ferry terminal in early 2017 and is a hub for transport on the island providing many bus services for locals and tourists alike.
Brodick is a popular holiday destination and a base for hill-walking. Tourism provides much of the village's economic base. There are many family-owned and independent businesses, such as hotels, restaurants, shops, bed and breakfast establishments, guest houses and outdoor activities. There are a brewery, a sports and leisure complex and an 18-hole golf course. The village of Brodick is the largest settlement on the island and is seen as the centre of economic activity due to many large businesses that are located around the town including The 22 bedroom Douglas Hotel & Bar & Auchrannie Spa and Resort which comprises two 4 star hotels with 85 rooms and thirty 5 star self-catering lodges along with a spa, two leisure centres, adventure company and more on site - Auchrannie is the largest employer on the island. The town also host base to Arran Haulage, Arran Brewery and Arran Aromatics as well as many more small independent businesses which help make Arran an entrepreneurial success.
The town has a Primary school, village hall, library, church, sports park, health centre and public beach and is the main shopping base on the island with one large Cooperative supermarket in the town as well as a smaller Co-op convenience store, hairdressers, estate agents, post office, gift shops, bakers, chocolate shop, bike hire store, one or two cafe's, bars and restaurants most notably Fiddlers, Douglas Bistro, Ormidale Bar, Brodick Bar and The Auchrannie Resort which has 3 restaurants and bars; Brambles - Seafood & Grill, Cruize - Bar/Brasserie and Eighteen69 - Scottish Tapas. It is also home to the stunning Brodick Golf Club which has 18 holes along the stunning coast of Brodick Bay, Brodick Castle which also has beautiful gardens and a Kids Adventure area which is due to open in July 2017.

Me and my new wife visited Arran and stayed at the Auchrannie hotel. We were staying in one of the new lodges that had a naturally heated hot tub outside. Although the weather was poor, we still loved it and made use of the spa, hot tube and many other activities on site. This video shows one of the lodges that we stayed in and what it has to offer.

Don’t miss the Burns House Museum in the charming cobbled backstreets of Mauchline and enjoy an audio tour.

Throughout the estate discover woodland walks, the Queen Elizabeth Walled Gardens, or lose yourself in the maze. Near Maybole, the impressive Culzean Castle & Country Park with its grand turrets, is not to be missed and Kelburn Castle and Country Centre in Fairlie is adorned with graffiti courtesy of Brazilian street artists.

-- March 2015 --
I am by no means a professional videographer, I don't even think amateur would cut it. But since we bought a one-way ticket, I filmed little things along the way. There are a lot of days, moments and people missing - but at least we have our non-captured memories for that ;)
Here is what we managed to catch on film from our first adventures of working/roaming/living/exploring/loving on a different continent. X

Trip from Ardrossan to Arran
Friday, 2 August, 2019
Brodick Castle. A fortress has been on the site since at least the fifth century, when Gaelic invaders from Antrim expanded their kingdom of Dál Riata. By the tenth century Norse influence had grown, and Arran formed part of Sudreys or Súðreyjar, administered either from Dublin or the Orkney islands (Nordreys or Norðreyjar) and nominally under the control of the King of Norway.
By the mid-thirteenth century Arran was part of the Kingdom of Mann and the Isles ruled by two Gall Gaidheal kings, Magnus of Mann and Dougal of the Isles, sub-rulers of Hákon Hákonarson, King of Norway.
Alexander III of Scotland (reigned 1249-1286) had inherited his father's desire to control the islands in order to stabilise his kingdom, and made numerous unsuccessful advances to that effect. In 1262 the Earl of Ross sacked and pillaged Skye with the king's blessing. King Hákon determined to avenge this slight and set out in July 1263, with a large fighting fleet (leiðangr) for Scotland. After linking up with the fleets of Magnus and Dougal, and showing his might throughout the Hebrides, Hákon's force anchored in Lamlash Bay on Arran, where they were approached by envoys from the Scots King. The Scots envoys were unsuccessful, and battle was engaged at Largs, a short distance across the firth. Although no rout, the Scots were victorious, and Hákon's forces retreated to Arran, and thence to Orkney to over-winter, where Hákon died. The ensuing Treaty of Perth in 1266 ceded the Sudreys to the Kingdom of Scotland.
William, 11th Duke of Hamilton married in 1843, Princess Marie of Baden, youngest daughter of the Grand Duke of Baden and Stéphanie de Beauharnais, adopted daughter of Napoleon Bonaparte. (Notice the Bavarian summer house.) In 1844, massive building work was undertaken at the castle, almost tripling the size of the building, under the architect James Gillespie Graham. The Twelfth Duke, William had no male heirs, so although his titles passed to his distant cousin Alfred Douglas-Hamilton upon his death, he entailed the castle upon his only daughter the Lady Mary Louise Douglas-Hamilton. She married James Graham, 6th Duke of Montrose in 1906, and so after more than five hundred years Brodick castle passed out of the Hamilton family.
The older part of the castle is said to be haunted by a Grey Lady who starved to death in the dungeons of the castle because she had the plague. A man has been reportedly seen sitting in the library and a White Deer is reputedly seen in the grounds of the castle whenever a chief of the Hamiltons is close to death.
The above information comes from
Alexander Douglas Douglas-Hamilton, 16th Duke of Hamilton (born 31 March 1978).
The Crown of Scotland is the crown that was used at the coronation of the monarchs of Scotland. Remade in its current form for King James V of Scotland in 1540, the crown is part of the Honours of Scotland, the oldest surviving set of Crown jewels in the United Kingdom. The crown dates from at least 1503 when, in an earlier form, it was depicted in the portrait of James IV of Scotland in the Book of Hours commissioned for his marriage to Margaret Tudor.

CalMac Five Ferry Challenge - ScotVlog2017 Volume 2
Five CalMac ferries in one day, taking in the islands of Bute and Arran on a circular motorcycle tour. Motorcycling in Scotland doesn't get much better than this. Dougal the Dog rides the motorbike too, as we take in Caledonian MacBrayne Ferries from Claonaig to Lochranza, Brodick to Ardrossan, Wemyss Bay to Rothesay, Rhubodach to Colintraive, and from Portavadie to Tarbert Loch Fyne. On the Isle of Arran we stop for lunch at the Dog-Friendly cafe, the Fiddlers. All this on a Triumph Thruxton Motorcycle. If you're doing a tour of Scotland, this makes for an ideal daytrip - or you can take a little longer and spend more time on the islands.
