What is recorded here

Brodie Castle is a Z-plan tower house completed in 1567 by Clan Brodie, partially burnt in 1645 by Lewis Gordon of Clan Gordon, and later remodelled by William Burn and James Wylson. It still stands north of Brodie with two five-storey corner towers, antique furniture, Oriental artefacts, intricate ceilings, and Rodney’s Stone in the grounds. The family may have lived there since around 1160, when King Malcolm IV is believed to have given the land to them, and Ninian Brodie, the last resident, died in 2003.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brodie Castle as Building (period Unassigned)(possible). 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.
Brodie Castle in Moray, Scotland, was built by the Brodie family, a prominent Scottish clan, with construction beginning in the 16th century and continued over subsequent centuries. It is important as a historic seat of the Brodie clan and as an example of Scottish Renaissance architecture.
