Did you know8 hours ago

Brodick has the only island country park in Britain, and it runs from the seashore to the mountain top.

The castle is the ancient seat of the Dukes of Hamilton, standing where it does because the position over the Firth of Clyde made it a fortress worth holding; the building you see now was fashioned in 1844. What surrounds it is the unusual part. The grounds run from the shore up to the summit, taking in formal gardens, woodland where red squirrels live, waterfalls, bathing pools and ponds, and there is nothing else like it on any island in the country.
