Description

What began as a Viking fortress over a thousand years ago is today Brodick Castle, the most prominent and largest castle on Isle of Arran, complete with a formal garden and a massive estate surrounding it. The oldest parts of the structure standing today date from the 1100s. This section, which is actually the front of the castle, was built in the Victorian era. All of the castle’s additions have used this same reddish sandstone so the exterior has cohesion to it. Inside are lavishly-appointed sitting rooms, dining rooms, and a cozy library with furnishings and decor mainly from the 18th century.
