Hopeman (Scots: Houpmin, Scottish Gaelic: Hudaman) is a seaside village in Moray, Scotland, it is situated on the coast of the Moray Firth, founded in 1805 to house and re-employ people displaced during the Highland clearances.

[2] The village was founded around 1805 by Laird William Young of Inverugie who brought displaced Gaelic families from Campbelltown to establish a fishing industry in Hopeman.

Activities range from traditional sandcastle competitions through to rock concerts, fancy dress parades, Songs of Praise and an Arts and Craft Fete.

The areas of gorse heathland surrounding the eastern beaches are home to the whitethroat, the robin and the yellowhammer.

Now and then bottlenose dolphins turn up in the Moray Firth off the coast of Hopeman, from where they can easily be seen.

The catchment area includes Hopeman and the nearby villages of Duffus and Cummingston.

Gordonstoun School is but a few miles away and provides an all-round education based upon the principles of its founder Kurt Hahn.

After several years the people from Hopeman formed a local congregation, erecting a building and establishing themselves in the village.
