Archiestown is a small village in south-east Morayshire close to the border with Banffshire. It is named in honour of its founder Sir Archibald Grant of Monymusk. It is a typical 18th-century planned village with a grid street-plan and spacious square. Originally intended as a weaving centre, it is better known for the nearby distilleries of Cardhu, Knockando, Tamdhu and The Macallan. It is also home to local independent football team Archiestown FC.
