ith its long sandy beach sweeping up towards Goat Fell
and the impressive seat of the castle, the bay of Brodick is one of the most stunning in Scotland. Brodick, situated on the east coast, has grown and expand- ed over the years and has long been regarded as a popular holiday destination. Brodick is the largest village on the island with shops, banks, and a post offi ce as well as stunning views and cafes. The island’s fi rst commercial
pier was built at Brodick in 1872 to welcome the paddle steamers bringing visitors from Glasgow. Brodick village hall opened its doors in 1895 and generations of visitors and locals cherish fond memories of the old hall that is still a venue for con- certs, dances and community activities with the added bo- nus of a new public library. Some of Arran’s best bars and hotels are to be found in Brod- ick. Whether it’s a gourmet dinner, bar meal or a takea- way, there’s something to suit
Looking over to Goatfell from Brodick all tastes.
Right in the middle of the vil- lage is Ormidale Park which hosts sporting activities throughout the year as well as the Brodick Highland games every August.
The Isle of Arran Heritage Mu- seum holds a feast of informa- tion for visitors.
Situated at the foot of the Ros- aburn it was originally the site of a small farm. The present museum is designed to let people wander through the old farm buildings while taking in the island’s history.
