About the Brodie Clan Tartan
The Brodie tartan is recorded by the Scottish Register of Tartans as a Clan/Family design, with an unknown designer and a tartan date of 1820. The Register notes that the Brodie sett is said to go back to at least the 1820s, was first recorded in the Vestiarium Scoticum in 1842, and that before this period the Brodies were associated with the Huntly District tartan.
That mixture of record and mystery suits the Brodie story well. Clan history notes that Brodie Castle was burned in 1645 during conflict with the Gordons, destroying many early family papers and leaving the clan's earliest origins uncertain. For customers with the Brodie, Brody, Bryde or Brydie name, the tartan offers a direct link to Moray lands, castle heritage and the clan's compact motto: Unite.
Brodie Tartan Pattern & Colours
The Brodie sett has a deep Highland character, balancing dark blue, green and black blocks with vivid red crossings and fine yellow and light lines. The result feels polished in tartan clothing, jackets, scarves, accessories and heritage gifts.

Brodie Heritage
The Brodies take their name from lands near Forres in Moray, an area long associated with the border between Highland and north-eastern Scotland. Clan history places the clan territories in Morayshire and Nairnshire and identifies the first known chiefs as the Thanes of Brodie and Dyke.
Brodie Castle, with roots in the sixteenth century and centuries of family occupation, remains one of the strongest visual symbols of the clan. Stories around the castle, the loss of early records, and local landmarks such as Macbeth's Hillock give the Brodie collection enough substance to stand apart from generic tartan copy.
