Everything about Brodick totally explained
Brodick (
Scottish Gaelic:
Breadhaig) is the main village on the
Isle of Arran, in the
Firth of Clyde,
Scotland. It is set on the eastern coast of the island, roughly in the central section. It sits below
Goat Fell, the tallest mountain on Arran, and in Brodick Bay. The name is derived from
Norse roots meaning "Broad Bay".
Features include the harbour which receives the main connecting ferry with the mainland which sails to
Ardrossan, and
Brodick Castle, a former residence of the
Dukes of Hamilton.
Tourism
Brodick is a popular holiday destination and tourism provides much of the village's economic base. There are many family-owned and independent businesses, such as shops,
bed and breakfast establishments, guest houses and outdoor activities. As well as several of the island's busiest hotels, it has both
Chinese &
Italian restaurants.
It has the island's main
ferry terminus (a second, smaller ferry runs from
Lochranza) which connects Brodick to
Ardrossan and then the national rail network. The ferries are operated by
