The name of the place on Arran is pronounced braw-dick. (I'm Scottish). The author could have got it from the place or maybe a surname? It does seem to be in existence as a surname, though rare and there is a surname Broderick so maybe it's a variant?
The place name if you're interested means 'broad bay' from the Norse breda vick.
