What is recorded here

Brodie Castle, East Lodge stands in Moray as a gate lodge, though no date or owner has been recorded. It may have marked the entrance to a grand estate, watched carriage wheels turn, or simply separated private land from public road. The absence of a date does not diminish the function: a gate lodge exists to control access, to announce boundary, and to hold the line between invitation and exclusion.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brodie Castle, East Lodge as Gate Lodge (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
