Dyke, Moray

Dyke (Scottish Gaelic: Dìg) is a small village situated in the north of Scotland on the Moray coast, approximately 4 miles west of Forres.

The origin of the name of the parish of Dyke is supposed to be the Gaelic word dìg, signifying a water drain or ditch.

Dyke is situated close to Brodie Castle, Culbin Forest and the River Findhorn.

This old church was closed in the mid 20th century and used as a potato barn for many decades, a fate common to many old churches in the region.

Today the village contains a popular primary school.
