Brodick on the Isle of Arran is a fine red sandstone castle deep in the woods surrounding Goatfell Mountain, off Scotland's west coast. Ruggedly romantic (it was originally a Viking fortress), your best bet is to get there on foot (though there is a bus service), taking a leisurely stroll through the Country Park.
