'''Brodick''' ({{lang-gd|Breadhaig}} or ''Tràigh a' Chaisteil'' ("Castle Beach")) is the main settlement on the [[Isle of Arran]],<ref name="visitscotland" /> in the [[Firth of Clyde]], [[Scotland]]. It is halfway along the east coast of the island, in Brodick Bay below [[Goat Fell]], the tallest mountain on Arran. The name is derived from [[Old Norse language|Norse]] roots meaning "Broad Bay".

The harbour receives the main ferry between Arran and the mainland via [[Ardrossan]]. [[Brodick Castle]] is a former residence of the [[Duke of Hamilton|Dukes of Hamilton]].

== Transport ==
Brodick has the Isle of Arran's main [[ferry]] terminus which connects Brodick to [[Ardrossan]] on the mainland and thence the national rail network. The ferries are operated by [[Caledonian MacBrayne]]. {{MV|Caledonian Isles}} plies this route. The crossing generally takes less than 1 hour. The route is one of the busiest crossings on the CalMac network, and dolphins and basking sharks can often be spotted en route. A second, smaller ferry sails from [[Lochranza]] to [[Claonaig]] on the Kintyre peninsula.

== Village ==
Brodick is a popular holiday destination and a base for hill-walking. Tourism provides much of the village's economic base. There are many family-owned and independent businesses, such as hotels, restaurants, shops, [[Bed and Breakfast|bed and breakfast establishments]], guest houses and outdoor activities. There are a brewery, a sports and leisure complex and an 18 hole golf course.
