 The town is quieter than it was before being bypassed by the main A96 in the early 1990s, its curving main street now passes between picturesque cottages and carries only a small fraction of the traffic that once cut the village in half.Lhanbryde's proximity to Elgin and the good rail links led to the village's steady growth as a dormitory for Moray's main town.The station closed in the 1960s, though the main line continues to pass close to the village.
