Brodick

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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".

The Paddle Steamer Waverley lies in Brodick Bay in front of Brodick castle, waiting for the car ferry to leave before returning to the pier.

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.

Brodick is a well known holiday destination, with tourism providing much of the village's economic base. There are many family-owned and independent businesses, such as shops, bed/breakfasts, guest houses and outdoor activities. As well as several of the island's busiest hotels, it has both Chinese & Italian restaurants.

Brodick's population was 621 in the 2001 Census.
