1. Rosaburn Ducks

The RosaBurn ducks can be found on the footpath to Duchess Court (Arran Aromatics, Janies Tea Room, Arran Cheese Shop) Follow the road from Brodick past the primary school and just before the Heritage Museum there is a footpath opposite the bus stop. This path leads to the RosaBurn bridge and Duchess court. It's also the only way to get to Duchess court and its shops and cafes without walking on the road as the pavement stops just past the museum.

It was great fun feeding the ducks, especially when theres not much else to do! Only 50p for a bag of bird food at the honesty box and the ducks come running up to you as soon as they see you. Fun for all the family, highly recommend visiting here!

In bringing a group of French walkers to the island there was a lot of pre-planning to be done, and from the very first contact the team were excellent in responding to all my questions. By the time we arrived at Brodick all of the hard work had been done, and so our visits to the centre were primarily to buy books and souvenirs. The staff were very friendly and patient with members of my group (who generally had little or no English), and when it came to sorting out minor niggles, they responded perfectly. Thank you for your help in making our stay on Arran such a memorable occasion !

For three decades, we’ve been creating vibrant, evocative scents from our Home Farm factory, an old dairy farm for the historic Brodick Castle. We’ve grown significantly since we began as a small, family soap business, but we’ve held true to our island heritage. A sprig of gorse, a breath of sea air and a pinch of seasoned wood. These elements combine to conjure vibrant, evocative scents that are uniquely Scottish, uniquely Arran. Untouched, natural elements surround our land and water from our very own freshwater spring finds its way into each and every one of our products.

The soap and smells here were lovely and I loved every scent. Some of the prices were a bit dear and I wouldn't pay for them myself but I can understand why people would. At the back you can see the factory and also you can make your own soap, which we done. It was £20 for the four of us to make our own soap which is really good and would be fun for your children too! I'd reccomend for something fun to do or if you're maybe wanting a local present for someone.

The island contains a host of delights and the Arran Coastal Way is one of Scotland's Great Trails while we only managed a part it was challenging, spectacular and worth the effort in every sense. Just follow the Gannet!
