Brodie Castle’s daffodils are world famous and in springtime the grounds are ablaze in bright yellow hues. Between 1899 and 1942, Major Ian Brodie, the 24th Laird of Brodie raised tens of thousands of daffodils in the walled garden at the beautiful Morayshire estate that’s now in the protection of our charity. Major Brodie bred over 400 named cultivars, of which 116 can be seen today in the National Collection of Brodie Daffodils at Brodie Castle.Nowadays, the daffodil collection includes over 200 named heritage varieties. Not all were bred by Ian Brodie, but he would have known them all. Some are cultivars that he himself bred, some were raised by others he used for breeding, and others were bred from his creations by other breeders.
