What is recorded here

Brodick Castle stands in Castle Parks, North Ayrshire, a dyke whose age remains unknown. Its walls may have watched ships pass or kept families warm through brutal winters. The exact purpose has faded, leaving behind a shape that still commands attention beside the water.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brodick Castle, Castle Parks as Dyke (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Brodick Castle was built by the Kennedy family in the 16th century and later held by the Stewart Earls of Galloway. It is important as a historic seat of the Stewart family and for its association with the development of the Isle of Arran.
