Lossiemouth
Lossiemouth is a town in Moray, Scotland. Originally the port coming from Elgin, it came to be a vital angling town. Although there has been over 1,000 years of settlement in the area, the here and now day town was formed over the past 250 years and also contains 4 different communities that eventually merged right into one. From 1890 to 1975 it was a police burgh as Lossiemouth as well as Branderburgh. Stotfield, the first considerable settlement (discounting Kinneddar which has now disappeared), lies to the north west of the town. Following was the Seatown-- a little area between the river and the canal inholding of 52 houses, 51 of which are the historic fisher cottages. When the new harbour was built on the River Lossie, the 18th-century scheduled community of Lossiemouth, improved a grid system, was established on the reduced ground listed below the Coulard Hill. Branderburgh formed the final development throughout the 19th century. This part of the community developed entirely as a result of the new harbour with its two basins, and also eventually covered the entire Coulard Hill; it has a remarkable account when seen from a range.
