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.
