Lhanbryde is a small village in Moray, Scotland, sitting close to the market town of Elgin. Its name comes from the Gaelic Lann Brìghde, reflecting a long ecclesiastical history linked to St Brigid; the settlement grew up amid the fertile farmland of north‑east Scotland and still feels distinctly rural despite being within easy reach of larger towns.
Today Lhanbryde functions largely as a local service and commuter community, with agriculture nearby and the whisky country of Speyside within easy travelling distance. The village retains a strong community spirit around its hall, school and local clubs, and carries traces of 19th- and 20th-century transport and social history - for example the old railway era that shaped many Moray villages - while serving as a quiet base for people working in the surrounding towns.
