Brodick Castle is located on the island Arran on the west coast of Scotland. It is the only island park in the UK. The park stretches for more than ten miles from the coast to the mountain top Goutfell.
I can add, that ownership of the castle passed through various hands before it came into the possession of the Hamilton family, later the Marquesses and Dukes of Hamilton, in 1503.
This red sandstone castle nestles in dark trees at the foot of Goatfell Mountain on the small but beautiful Isle of Arran. The site has been occupied by a stronghold of some kind since the fifth century. It was probably destroyed and rebuilt countless times during its turbulent history.
