South Forres is a mainly residential quarter immediately to the south of Forres in Moray, Scotland. It sits near gentle farmland and river corridors, with easy access to the River Findhorn and the Moray Firth, so residents commonly use nearby coastal and woodland routes for walking and wildlife-watching; the Culbin sands and Findhorn village are both a short drive away.
Locally it feels like a quiet community with small shops, active community groups and straightforward commuting links to larger centres such as Elgin and Inverness. South Forres benefits from the historic character of Forres - medieval roots, market-town traditions and nearby sights like Sueno's Stone and Brodie Castle - so the local economy mixes agriculture, services and a modest amount of tourism while remaining primarily residential in character.
