Located off the west coast of Scotland, Brodick is the Isle of Arran’s flagship ferry port. Sheltered from the prevailing westerly winds, the location is used by ferries, commercial and cruise vessels.

In 2018, we completed a major infrastructure project to transform the existing terminal, which was originally constructed in the early 1970s. The £30 million upgrade project delivered a new pier, an increased marshalling area and a modern terminal building, with bus stances and parking facilities.  It is the single biggest port infrastructure construction project delivered by CMAL.
