    The castle itself was the home of the Brodie family until the late 20th century. In fact, the family’s association with the area goes back further than the building of the castle, possibly as far as 1160 when it is believed Malcom IV gave these lands to the Brodies. In 1645, the castle came under attack from Montrose’s army and sustained some damage, but thankfully survived. Today, you can still see the additions made to the building in the 17th and 19th centuries.

    Wandering the grounds, these troubled times seem distant indeed with little to disturb this tranquil setting. In spring, the grounds are carpeted with a unique collection of daffodils. You’re free to explore sheltered woodland walks, and stroll by the pond where you can observe the estate’s varied wildlife from the specially constructed hides.

    The castle and converted stable block can be hired out for weddings, corporate and private functions. Please contact the castle for further information.

    • - Delightful daffs thrive with the National Trust for Scotland

      Daffodils and the Lake District may be immortalised by the writings of William Wordsworth and yet this sentinel of spring, adopted by the Welsh as its national emblem is also a significant player in the Scottish horticultural world – whether in the fields of Kincardineshire or in the long established gardens and designed landscapes of the National Trust for Scotland.  more>
