Mosstodloch (Scottish Gaelic: Mos Tudlach) is a small village in Moray, Scotland, lying on the A96 between Fochabers and Elgin on the west bank of the River Spey.
The Scottish Executive announced on 17 March 2005 that it had approved construction of a bypass for Mosstodloch. Work will begin in 2008 and should be completed by 2010, at a cost of £22m. The decision follows an Inquiry in 2003, which focused on the loss of part of the designed landscape of Gordon Castle and on the environmental impacts on adjacent properties. The bypass will also provide relief for Fochabers to the east, construction was due to start this year but has been significantly delayed due to conflict regarding the proposed route (December 2006).
Recent public hearings have resulted in a compromise between local residents and the Councils involved.
