Findochty (pronounced , , ) is a village in Moray, Scotland, on the shores of the Moray Firth; historically it was part of Banffshire. A comparison of the First and Second Edition Six-inch Ordnance Survey Maps, publishd in 1870 and 1905 respectively shows how the harbour and the village developed during the intervening years .
Fishing
In the Annual Report of the Fishery Board for 1909 we learn that Findochty is "declining as a herring curing station; fishermen prosecute the herring fishing from other places, coming home only at weekends . In 1914 we learn of "an increase of three steam drifters. Majority of fishermen employed exclusively at herring fishing".
Churches There are a number of churches in this small village, including Church of Scotland, Salvation Army, & Methodist congregations. There are also the Christian Brethren at Chapel Street, and at the Station Road Hall - which has an annual Bible Conference every September drawing Christians from all parts of the British Isles and many overseas countries.
