What is recorded here

Brodie Castle is a Z-plan tower house completed in 1567 for Clan Brodie, partially burnt in 1645, then remodelled into a Scots Baronial mansion between 1824 and 1845. Its two five-storey corner towers still rise above a preserved interior of antique furniture, Oriental artefacts and intricate ceilings, while Rodney's Stone waits in the grounds like a forgotten witness. The family may have held the land since King Malcolm IV gave it to them around 1160, and Ninian Brodie, the last resident, died there in 2003. Now the National Trust for Scotland keeps the castle, policies and daffodil collection open, letting visitors walk through rooms that have absorbed centuries of pride, fire and reinvention.
