'''Findochty''' (pronounced {{IPAc-en|f|ɪ|ˈ|n|ɛ|x|t|i|}}, {{langx|sco|Finichty}},<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.scots-online.org/error/error_403.php |title=Error 403 |access-date=22 September 2020 |archive-date=1 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211101113924/https://www.scots-online.org/error/error_403.php |url-status=dead }}</ref> {{langx|gd|Am Fionn Ochdamh}}) is a village in [Moray](/source/Moray), Scotland, on the shores of the [Moray Firth](/source/Moray_Firth); historically it was part of [Banffshire](/source/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 <ref>{{cite map
