Brodie, Moray

In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Brodie like this:

Brodie, an estate, with a mansion and a station, in Dyke and Moy parish, W Elginshire. Brodie Castle, in the southern vicinity of the station, and near the Nairnshire boundary, is an irregular castellated edifice, partly old and partly modern; a predecessor, Brodie House, was burned by Lord Lewis Gordon in 1645. For more than 500 years the Brodies have held the estate, the present representative, Hugh Fife Ashley Brodie, Esq. (b. 1840; suc. 1873), owning 4728 acres in the shire, valued at £2172 per annum. The station is on the Highland railway, 3½ miles W by S of Forres.
