234 THE BOOK OF ARRAN<br />

One other change, though somewhat later in date, may<br />

here be noticed. In 1844, on the occasion of the marriage<br />

of Anthony Archibald, eleventh Duke of Hamilton and<br />

fourteenth Earl of <strong>Arran</strong>, with the Princess Marie of Baden,<br />

the old village of Brodick, which had lain close to the castle<br />

on the north side of the bay, was demolished as a necessary<br />

step in improving the surroundings of the castle. New sites<br />

for houses were provided on the opposite shore at Invercloy,.<br />

which is modern Brodick.
