Fettercairn (/ˌfɛtərˈkɛərn/, Scottish Gaelic: Fothair Chàrdain) is a small village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland,[1][2] northwest of Laurencekirk in Aberdeenshire on the B966 from Edzell. Fettercairn is also reached via the Cairn O' Mount road (B974) from Deeside.

The name comes from the Scottish Gaelic Fothair and the Pictish carden and means "slope by a thicket". The name appeared as Fotherkern in c. 970.[3]

In the 2011 national census, Fettercairn had a population of 353.[4]
