What is recorded here

Brodick Castle still casts its shadow across Arran, but the field bank marks the exact line where human ownership began to bite into the landscape. Post Medieval hands shaped that boundary, drawing a visible scar through North Ayrshire soil to separate castle grounds from common earth. The bank remains a quiet witness to the moment local people stopped wandering freely and started owning land.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Arran, Brodick Castle, Field Bank as Field Boundary (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.

Brodick Castle on the Isle of Arran was originally built in the 13th century by the MacDougall clan and later held by the Campbell family from the 17th century. It is important as a historic seat of power and as a well-preserved example of Scottish castle architecture.
