Brodick is the main village on the Isle of Arran and is the first place most people land. Located on the east coast in the shadow of Goatfell, the bustling village has a range of accommodation, places for food and drink, shops, and a ferry terminal. There are also some historic sites nearby, including Brodick Castle.
