Brodie Castle. The original castle was built in 1567 by Clan Brodie but destroyed by fire in 1645 by Clan Gordon. It was greatly expanded in 1824 by the architect William Burn who turned it into a fortified house. The castle is now in the care of National Trust for Scotland and open to the public.
Brodie is the home of the National Daffodil Collection, so puts on a fine show in spring. The castle also has a very well-preserved 16th-century central keep with two 5-storey towers on opposing corners. The interior of the castle is well preserved, containing fine antique furniture, oriental artefacts and painted ceilings, largely dating from the 17th–19th centuries.
