What is recorded here

Brodie Castle is a 16th-century tower house in Moray that Clan Brodie completed in 1567, partially lost to fire in 1645, and later shaped into a Scots Baronial mansion. Its two tall corner towers still rise beside William Burn’s added wings, while the grounds keep a national daffodil collection and the old Pictish marker known as Rodney’s Stone. The family lived there for centuries, and Ninian Brodie, the last resident named in the account, died in 2003. Now the National Trust for Scotland keeps the place open, letting visitors walk through rooms that have endured feud, flame, rebuilding and memory.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brodie Castle as Castle (16th Century), Country House (19th Century), Sundial(s) (post Medieval), Tower House (16th Century). 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 was built by the Brodie family in the 16th century and later expanded in the 19th century as a country house. It is important as a historic seat of the Brodie clan and as an example of Scottish tower house architecture.
