What is recorded here

Brodick Castle stands on Arran, where Norse warriors watched the Clyde from a high ridge before Hamilton dukes turned the defensive site into a grand family home. English soldiers occupied it during independence wars, Cromwell's troops bargained for its surrender, and Marie of Baden helped transform it into a palace large enough to display one of Scotland's greatest art collections. The castle survived every seizure and rebuild because the people who lived there kept shaping it for the next generation.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brodick Castle as Summerhouse (post Medieval). 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.
