What is recorded here

Brodie Castle is a Z-plan tower house completed in 1567 by Clan Brodie, standing north of Brodie in Moray. Lewis Gordon of Clan Gordon partially burnt it in 1645, but the central keep and two five-storey towers still rise beside later Scots Baronial additions. The family lived there until Ninian Brodie died in 2003, and the National Trust for Scotland now keeps the castle, gardens and Rodney's Stone open to visitors.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brodie Castle as Structure (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.
Brodie Castle in Moray, Scotland, was built by the Brodie family, a powerful clan in the region, with construction beginning in the 16th century and continued over subsequent centuries. It is important as a historic seat of the Brodies and as an example of Scottish Renaissance architecture.
