Fodderty is a small hamlet in Cromartyshire, near the east coast and close to Dingwall, Ross-shire's county town.

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 of Davochcarn, Davochmaluag and Davochpollo, long held by a branch of the Mackenzies, for which reason it is a part of Cromartyshire.[1]

The growing village of Dingwall now encroaches on Fodderty.
