1. About Clan Brodie (Brodie Tartan)


Gaelic Name: Brothaigh
Crest: A right hand holding a bunch of arrows, all Proper
Motto: Unite
Origin of Name: Place name, Moray
Badge: Periwincle
Lands: Moray
Clan Chief: Alexander Brodie of Brodie

2. Clan Brodie History (Brodie Tartan)

The Brodie estates in Morayshire, close to Forres, are where this old clan first appeared. Due to Lord Lewis Gordon, 3rd Marquis of Huntly's malicious attack on Brodie Castle in 1645, the historical record of the clan's true origins was suppressed.



The origins are a mystery as a result of the burning of all archival materials, including charters. The name Brodie's Gaelic etymology is obvious, though; it comes from the term "brothaig," which means "ditch" in Gaelic.





The Gordon family set fire to the ancient Brodie Castle, which had been constructed by the clan in 1567, in 1645. In the 1820s, it underwent reconstruction and expansion, becoming a stately house. The National Trust for Scotland now controls it.


By right of succession from his paternal ancestors, including his father Malcolm of Brodie, Michael Brodie of Brodie had the thanage rights over Brodie, according to the charter of confirmation for the Brodie lands that came from Robert the Bruce.

The idea that the family is descended from the royal family, which bears the Pictish name "Brude," is also put forth.

The significant archaeological evidence of Pictish villages near Brodie supports this. A beautifully carved Pictish sign stone, for instance, is located not far from the castle.

The "blasted heath," which is adjacent to Brodie Castle and is where MacBeth is said to have encountered the three witches, is a relic of an earlier aristocratic hierarchy, whose apex was MacBeth.

Strongly committed to the Reformed religion, Alexander Brodie of Brodie (b. 1617) attacked Elgin Cathedral in 1640, destroying the carvings and paintings of the Crucifixion and Last Judgment that he deemed to be disrespectful to his faith.

He represented Elgin in parliament, and further away, he was one of the commissioners dispatched to negotiate the return of exiled Charles II to Scotland in 1649, solidifying his standing among the local nobles.

In order to discuss a Scottish union with England, Cromwell summoned him to London in 1651 as part of his diplomatic career. He resisted being appointed to a position of authority, but after Cromwell's death in 1658, he had little choice but to give in.

The result was royal disfavor after the Restoration, as Charles II found it difficult to forgive men who had attempted to compel him to adopt Calvinist principles in exchange for their loyalty.

The family eschewed participating in public events throughout the ages in favor of the stability provided by their title and residence. In her loft, Mrs. Helena Brodie of Brodie found a vellum pontifical in 1972 hidden beneath a set of Bleau atlases.

It was assigned a date of 1000 and reveals Durham connections. The Brodie Pontifical, which is now housed at the British Museum, is older than the rule of Saint Margaret, the arrival of Turgot of Durham, and Elgin Cathedral itself.

In a nutshell, it is evidence of the family's long history and a priceless historical document.

3. Clan Brodie Tartans

The Brodie tartan is reportedly from a photograph from the middle of the 18th century, but it also occurs in Sobieski Stewart's Vestiarium Scoticum from 1842 and does indeed resemble a Brothers pattern.

The dyed hues, which are typically deeper, are referred to as "modern."

Brodie Modern

 

The Brodie Hunting tartan is mentioned in J. Claude's 1880 book, "Clans Originaux." In a very early printing of Johnston's "Scottish Clans and their Tartans," there was also a "Note by a Tartan Manufacturer" that stated: "The handsome tartan shown as Brodie is really the Hunting Brodie; the Brodie proper has a red ground." This 'of late' tartan was mentioned by D.W. Stewart in 1893. He claimed it was based on the 'earlier' dress sett and made a comment.

5. Clan Brodie Places & People

5.1 Clan Brodie Places

Brodie Castle

When Clan Brodie built Brodie Castle in 1567, it was demolished in 1645 by Clan Gordon under the command of Lewis Gordon, 3rd Marquis of Huntly, less than a century later.

Between 1824 and 1845, the castle underwent renovations that transformed it into the present-day castle.

The lands that the castle was built on are thought to have been given to the Brodies by King Malcolm IV in 1160. When the castle was sold to the National Trust for Scotland in 1999, nearly 800 years of Brodie ownership of the estates came to an end.

5.2 Clan Brodie People

Deacon Brodie (28 September 1741 - 1 October 1788)

William Brodie maintained a double life, working as a municipal councilor in Edinburgh during the day and a burglar at night. One of his accomplices provided King's Evidence, which led to Brodie's arrest and execution.

Most people agree that Deacon Brodie served as the model for the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde characters.
