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 remodified by William Burn and James Wylson. Its two five-storey corner towers still rise north of Brodie, while the grounds hold a national daffodil collection and the Pictish monument called Rodney's Stone. The family lived there until Ninian Brodie died in 2003, and the National Trust for Scotland now keeps the castle, its antique rooms and designed landscape open to visitors.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brodie Castle as Sundial(s) (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 in the 16th century and expanded over subsequent centuries. It is important as a historic seat of the Brodie clan and as an example of Scottish Renaissance architecture.
