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 (long held by a branch of the Mackenzies) of Davochcarn, Davochmaluag and Davochpollo.William John Watson, Place names of Ross and Cromarty (Inverness Northern Counties Pub. 1904), at [https://archive.org/details/placenamesofross00watsuoft/page/100 page 100] "Davochmaluag" is named after the famous missionary saint - St Moluag of Lismore (died AD592) - to whom the church at Fodderty was dedicated. Only a mound remains in the burial-ground to mark where this church stood.
Fodderty Cemetery also contains the burial placeBridgescapes by Bruce Keith (pub.2017) of Willie Logan (1913-1966) that is marked by a memorial in the shape of a pier of the Tay Road Bridge which, through his father's Muir of Ord-based building firm, he helped to construct. He also founded the Scottish regional airline Loganair.
The growing town of Dingwall now encroaches on Fodderty.
