Fochabers is a small planned village in Moray, Scotland, set on the banks of the River Spey. Laid out by the Dukes of Gordon in the late 18th century, it retains a pronounced Georgian character along its main street and lies at the edge of the famed Speyside whisky region.
The village is anchored by Gordon Castle and its restored walled gardens, and the local economy blends farming, salmon fishing, tourism and links to nearby distilleries; community life mixes estate events, village gatherings and outdoor pursuits such as riverside walks and angling.
