Fodderty (Scottish Gaelic: Fodhraitidh) is a small hamlet, close to Dingwall, Ross-shire in the Scottish Highlands and is in the Scottish council area of Highland.
The small hamlet of Bottacks is located 1 mile to the west, and just to the east is Brae or Brea, formed in 1777 from the lands (long held by a branch of the Mackenzies) of Davochcarn, Davochmaluag and Davochpollo. "Davochmaluag" is named after the famous missionary saint - St Moluag of Lismore (died AD592) - to whom the church at Fodderty was dedicated. Only a mound remains in the burial-ground to mark where this church stood.
Fodderty Cemetery also contains the burial place of Willie Logan (1913-1966) that is marked by a memorial in the shape of a pier of the Tay Road Bridge which, through his father's Muir of Ord-based building firm, he helped to construct. He also founded the Scottish regional airline Loganair.
The growing town of Dingwall now encroaches on Fodderty.
