Brodick Castle is located on the Isle of Arran.
Brodick Castle History
From the entrance hall, with 87 stags heads, one reaches the Duchess’s dressing room, bedroom, and boudoir, all sumptuously furnished.
A small staircase reaches Bruce’s room, which is vaulted and was once used as a prison. There are many horseracing mementos in the castle, as well as silver, porcelain, and artwork from the Hamilton, Beckford, and Rochford collections.
The Crown built Brodick, but the castle passed to the Hamiltons in 1503. They remained owners, as Earls of Arran and Dukes of Hamilton, until the death of Mary, Duchess of Montrose, heiress of the 12th Duke of Hamilton.
