Brodie Castle, Forecourt is a possible courtyard in Moray, Scotland, recorded without a clear period. The exact point is known to the nearest metre, yet the function remains uncertain. A courtyard suggests people moving past chambers, carrying messages or goods, but no surviving detail confirms that life. The name still points to a castle, while the forecourt resists definition.
