A large and impressive building, Brodie Castle consists of a massive 16th-century Z-plan tower house, with extensive additions, which was further enlarged in the 19th century by the architect William Burn. The property was owned by the Brodies from 1160. It was burnt in 1645 because the Brodies were Covenanters, although much of the internal work survived; it was damaged by fire again in 1786. The house was renovated in 1980 after passing to The National Trust for Scotland, although it is still occupied by the Brodies. Collection of paintings and furniture. Garden. Disabled facilities.
