You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.238.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:18, 2 May 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Brodick''' (((IPAc-en|ˈ|b|r|ɒ|d|ɪ|k)) ((Respell|BROD|ik)),<ref>((cite web|url=https://player.vimeo.com/video/198696633|title=Discovering Dodos at Brodick Castle|access-date=24 July 2019))</ref> ((lang-gd|Tràigh a' Chaisteil)) ("Castle Beach") or ''Breadhaig'') is the main village 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 the [[Old Norse language|Norse]] "breda-vick" meaning "Broad Bay".<ref name="basford">((cite book |editor1-last=Basford |editor1-first=Joan |title=History of the Villages of the Isle of Arran |date=2002 |publisher=Scottish Women's Rural Institute |page=7))</ref>

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]].

Brodick is one of the largest villages on the island and is seen as the main hub due to the ferry terminal which connects the island to the mainland. It is host to many homes, hotels and shops, the health centre, nursing home, heritage museum, tourist information centre, Brodick Castle, public beach, park and an 18-hole golf course.

== Transport ==
Brodick has Arran's main [[ferry]] terminus, which connects Brodick to [[Ardrossan]] on the mainland and to the national rail network. The ferries are operated by [[Caledonian MacBrayne]]. ((MV|Caledonian Isles)) serves the island year-round, with ((MV|Isle of Arran)) providing additional sailings during the summer. The crossing takes less than one hour. The route is one of the busiest crossings on the CalMac network, and dolphins and basking sharks are occasionally spotted en route. A second, smaller ferry – ((MV|Catriona)) – sails from [[Lochranza]] to [[Claonaig]] on the Kintyre peninsula between March and October, between October and March this service operates to and from [[Tarbert, Kintyre|Tarbert]] instead.

The village has seen investment recently with £30M being spent on the new Brodick Ferry Terminal.  This is a new larger passenger terminal with a larger pier capable of handling two large vessels at once, increasing capacity on Scotland's busiest ferry route which handled 828,262 passengers and 202,843 cars in 2016 up 8.7% and 6.8% respectively.

In addition to the new ferry terminal, which was formally opened by [[Derek Mackay]] MSP on 12 April 2018, the island is expected to get two new dual-fuelled ferries built on the River Clyde. The first ferry has been named ((MV|Glen Sannox|2017|6)) after a public vote in Spring 2017, and the ferry was expected to be delivered in early 2019. Unfortunately this deadline has been delayed, and it is unknown when it will enter service. The second ferry was named ((MV|Glen Rosa)) after a public vote in August 2023, and is expected to enter service at the end of 2024. 

The village is connected to all parts of the island by road including [[Lamlash]] and [[Whiting Bay]] to the south, [[Lochranza]] to the north and [[Blackwaterfoot]] to the west.

A new upgraded bus terminal opened in Brodick at the new ferry terminal in early 2017, and is a hub for transport on the island, providing many bus services.

== 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 is also a brewery (located in nearby [[Cladach]]), a sports and leisure complex, and an 18-hole golf course. 

The village of Brodick is the largest settlement on the island (although Lamlash has a larger population), and is seen as the centre of economic activity due to the many businesses that are located around the village. These include the 22 bedroom Douglas Hotel & Bar, and the Auchrannie Spa and Resort, which comprises two 4-star hotels with 85 rooms and thirty 5-star self-catering lodges along with a spa, two leisure centres, and adventure company and more on site.
The village is also the home of Arran Haulage and Arran Aromatics, as well as many more small independent businesses.

Brodick has a range of amenities, including a primary school, a village hall, a library, a church, a sports park, a health centre, and a beach. Brodick also has a large [[Co-op Food|Co-op supermarket]] in the heart of the village, along with a smaller Co-op convenience store located at Invercloy.

Brodick has a variety of businesses, including hairdressers, estate agents, a post office, gift shops, a bakery, a chocolate shop, and a bike rental store. The village is home to numerous cafes, bars, and restaurants, including the Douglas, Ormidale Bar, The Fallen Goat, and the three distinct restaurants and bars at the Auchrannie Resort; Brambles, Cruize, and Eighteen69.

The high school, council offices, Highlands and Islands University Resource Centre and hospital can all be found in Lamlash, located ((convert|3|mi|km|abbr=off|0)) to the south.

The largest peak on the island, [[Goat Fell]], overlooks the village and Brodick Bay. Reaching ((convert|874|m|ft|0|adj=ri0)) above sea-level, it is one of the most popular hiking routes in Scotland.
