Brodie Castle
Caisteal Bhrodaigh
The ancestral home of the Brodie family, a 16th-century tower house famous for its daffodil collection and its family-friendly “Fun Garden.”
Caisteal Bhrodaigh lies between Forres and Nairn and has been the family home of the Brodies for centuries; it is now managed by the National Trust for Scotland. Inside the castle are ornate plaster ceilings, a library and art collections. The estate grounds contain over a hundred daffodil varieties that bloom into a sea of flowers in spring. The Fun Garden, opened in 2021, features giant garden installations and play equipment that suit families. The castle interior is open by guided tour only, on a seasonal basis, while the grounds are open year-round. It lies about 40 km from Inverness.
