Visitors to the Brodick Castle grounds are in for a sensory overload next Saturday when a live performance called Build- NBurn will lead the proceedings at the Burning the Circle prehistoric fire festival.
The fiery spectacular, starting at 7.45pm on Saturday September 23, will take place at a secret location within the grounds overlooking Brodick and the Firth of Clyde. The theme of the festival which started in 2013, two having taken place on Arran and one in Caithness, is a closely guarded secret until the event itself, and this year will be no different.
As part of the proceed- ings, during the week before the festival, archaeologists from Northlight Heritage and the University of Glasgow will work with National Trust for Scotland Thistle Camp volunteers to build timber structures at the festival site, inspired by other prehistoric sites on the island.
