Jean Brodie is a teacher at The Marcia Blaine School for Girls in Edinburgh in the 1930s.

The Brodie Set often go to art museums and theatre and have picnics on the school lawn, to the chagrin of the school's austere headmistress Emmaline Mackay.

Brodie catches the eye of Gordon Lowther, the school's music teacher and choirmaster, with whom she and the girls spend weekends at his luxurious estate in Cramond.
