A Great Escape

Buckling rail tracks, hailstones the size of beach balls and striking airline pilots… it must be the summer holidays. Recently, I managed to combine work AND getting away from it all on a project with StudioLR, who were producing a new type of guidebook for Brodick Castle on Arran.

The project kicked off very early one morning with a site visit and behind-the-scenes tour of this jewel in the National Trust for Scotland’s crown.

Got a minute? Watch the edited highlights here…

A fun and engaging alternative to traditional guidebooks, A Great Escape charts Brodick’s architectural evolution, introduces some of the characters who’ve brought so much life and colour to the castle through the ages and showcases the treasures in its magnificent collection. The final section highlights a few of the curiosities and hidden gems you might otherwise miss, making the guidebook a valuable and highly collectible addition to any visit.
