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.

Rodney's Stone. The stone is a two-metre high Pictish cross slab now located close on the approach way to Brodie Castle. The stone is most notable, however, for its inscription, which is found on both of the sides and on the cross face. It is the longest of all Pictish inscriptions, and like most Pictish inscriptions, is written in the Ogham alphabet. It is a scheduled ancient monument.
The Picts were a group of peoples who lived in Britain north of the Forth–Clyde isthmus in the Pre-Viking, Early Middle Ages
