Brodick Attractions

The String (A841), as the locals call it, follows the coast right round the island. Situated on the east coast overlooking a bay of the same name lies Brodick (pop. 860), the island's main port with a jetty for ferries and the starting point for the island tour.

The castle was built in the 13th C but has undergone alterations over the years, including the most recent changes in the mid 1800s. On display are paintings and period furniture.

Goatfell

Goatfell (2,866ft/874m) is the highest peak on Arran and can be reached from Brodick. On a clear day the summit affords a clear view of the Clyde estuary and beyond. Allow about five hours for this excursion. The return journey can be interrupted at Corrie.
