With the marriage of the daughter of James the second of Scotland to James, Lord Hamilton, the long Stewardship of the island by generations of Hamilton’s began. In 1843, when the 10th Duke’s son married Princess Marie, the youngest daughter of the Grand Duke of Baden, the enlargement and transformation of the Castle was commissioned. The work was made possible by the inheritance that came to Susan Euphemia, wife of the 10th Duke and daughter of William Beckford, described as ‘one of the most colourful individuals in the history of English collecting’. Beckford’s extreme wealth and fabulous collection was legendary. Brodick Castle is the home of the Beckford and Hamilton collection of Silver.
