Brodick Castle History
From the entrance hall, with 87 stags heads, one reaches the Duchess’s
dressing room, bedroom and boudoir, all sumptuously furnished.
A small staircase reaches Bruce’s room, which is vaulted and was once
used as a prison. There are many horseracing mementos in the castle, as well as silver,
porcelain and artwork from the Hamilton, Beckford and Rochford collections.
The Crown built Brodick, but the castle passed to the Hamiltons in
1503. They remained owners, as Earls of Arran and Dukes of Hamilton, until the death of Mary,
Duchess of Montrose, heiress of the 12th Duke of Hamilton.
