Garmouth is a small coastal village in Moray, Scotland, sited where the mouth of the River Spey meets the Moray Firth. It sits a few miles east of Lossiemouth and north‑east of Elgin, and the low‑lying coastline and estuary produce wide mudflats and saltmarsh that are important for wildlife.
Traditionally a fishing community with a modest harbour and strong maritime links, Garmouth now combines agriculture, the nearby Speyside whisky economy and small‑scale tourism. The area is popular for birdwatching and wildlife spotting - otters and dolphins in the Moray Firth are regular attractions - and the village retains a close‑knit social feel with local events and a character shaped by its coastal and estuarine setting.
