Get your buckets and spades ready. Brodick should have a new beach by this time next week.
A final licence from Marine Scotland, to allow the sand to be spread on the beach, is expected to be with Brodick Improvements by the end of the week, which could see work start as early as the weekend. The sand, which was dredged from the foundations of the new ferry terminal was gifted to the village last month by contractors George Leslie Ltd.
