Hopeman (, ) 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. According to the 2011 census, Hopeman has a population of 1,724 and approximately 701 households.
==The village== 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. The settlement was expanded with the building of a harbour in 1865 by Admiral Archibald Duff of Drummuir. The harbour was used as a fishing port and Hopeman stone from the nearby Greenbrae and Clashach quarries were shipped from the harbour. The old part of Hopeman has a grid-iron street layout. The main part of the village is set back from the beach and there is a village green with playing fields, a playground and a skate park). The B9012 passes west to east to the south of the village.
