Clan Brodie

Unite

Clan Brodie's lands lie in Moray, in the parish of Dyke; the name has been linked to the Gaelic broth, a ditch of mire, the same word as dyke in Saxon. Michael, son of Malcolm, thane of Brodie and Dyke, had a charter of the lands of Brodie from King Robert Bruce in 1311, and the family held Brodie Castle, near Forres, until Ninian, 25th Brodie, handed it to the National Trust for Scotland in 1980. Much of the family's early writings were destroyed when Brodie house was burnt in 1645. The chief is Alexander Brodie of Brodie.

Crest & Motto

Clan Brodie Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Brodie is Unite. It appears on the Clan Brodie crest badge: the chief’s heraldic crest set inside a strap and buckle that carries the motto.

In Scotland a crest belongs to the chief, not to everyone with the surname. Clan members may wear the crest badge, with the crest inside the strap and buckle, to show that they belong to the clan. The plain crest without the strap remains the chief’s own.
