Brodick > Kiftsgate Court was built in 1887-91 by Sydney Graves Hamilton who owned Mickleton Manor, on to which one of his ancestors, Walwyn Graves (1744-1813), had built a Georgian front with a high portico.

Brodick > Italian style gardens became popular in the mid-19th century, and were still being created up to the eve of the First World War. They were something of a reaction against the naturalistic or parkland style which had been dominant in Britain since Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown and consisted of a number of features. These included formal designs with a symmetrical layout of shaped beds, known as parterres, often surrounded by low beech hedges, fountains, urns, statuary and stone balustrading.
