Rothes (Scottish Gaelic: Ràthais) is a town in Moray, Scotland, south of Elgin and on the banks of the River Spey. The village has a population of 1209 (2001).
At the south end of the village lie the remains of Rothes Castle, which dates from the 13th century. Sir Norman Leslie, the castle's owner, was host to King Edward I of England when he stayed there on 29 July 1296 during his triumphal march through Scotland following its conquest by him in 1296.
The village and castle are associated with the Earl of Rothes. It is home to five distilleries — Speyburn-Glenlivet Distillery, Glen Grant Distillery, Glen Spey, the mothballed Caperdonich and Glenrothes Distillery.
