Brodie Castle
As we move out of the coronavirus lockdown, we’re pleased to be able to welcome back visitors to our outdoor spaces. Some of our buildings (historic buildings, visitor facilities, cafés and shops) remain closed. The toilet facilities at Brodie are closed. We urge people to follow Scottish government advice to carefully observe social distancing.
Step back in time to the castle’s glory days, when the Brodie family were one of Scotland’s most prominent families.
The Playful Garden is home to a fascinating menagerie of characters inspired by the castle’s quirky and colourful history, including Scotland’s biggest bunny sculpture.
Visit in spring when the grounds are carpeted with over 100 varieties of daffodil.
Admire the art collection – from Dutch Old Masters to modern watercolours.

About this place
Acres of gentle Moray countryside surround the rose-coloured Brodie Castle, ancestral home of the Brodie clan for over 400 years, although their family seat has been here since the 12th century.
See how changing times altered the castle’s shape and purpose. The impenetrable 16th-century guard chamber is flanked on one side by a cosy 17th-century wing and on the other by a sprawling Victorian extension.
The castle houses a magnificent collection of furniture, ceramics and artwork, including works by 17th-century Dutch masters and 20th-century Scottish Colourists. It also boasts an impressive library containing over 6,000 volumes.
The Playful Garden at Brodie Castle is full of excitement for all the family. Located near to the castle, it explores the Brodie family history in a novel and fun-filled way.
