BRODICK & BRODICK BAY

This stunning view of Brodick Bay with Goatfell and the Arran Mts. beyond was taken from a vantage point high up on the Clauchland hills behind our house.  This is a scan of one of our favourite (Photo by Allan Wright) Arran postcards; we have likely sent off a dozen or more of this card over the years.

and then down the steep Pier Hill past the harbour, where we see that the ferry is just leaving. 































































 
After admiring the stunning view from the first tee at Brodick Golf Club we pop  round to the Ormidale Hotel - with perhaps the best bar in Brodick - for a quick pint of the excellent Arran Blonde Ale...
