The ward around Fochabers and Lhanbryde sits in eastern Moray on the fertile Speyside plain of north‑east Scotland. It takes in low-lying riverside land along the River Spey and combines the 18th‑century planned streets of Fochabers with the more compact, traditional village feel of Lhanbryde, with notable local landmarks such as Gordon Castle and its restored gardens nearby.
The local economy mixes agriculture, local services and links to the whisky trade on Speyside, while many people commute to Elgin or further afield along the main road for work. Community life is active around village halls, schools and clubs, giving the area a blend of rural character and practical connectivity.
