Category On-line Digital Images

Scope and Content The image shows Lossiemouth's 19th-C Branderburgh Harbour, developed from 1837, much of it blasted out of rock. It was the port for Elgin and a busy fishing harbour, but now functions mainly as a marina. This 1999 image shows a transitional phase, with the south arm of the harbour further protected by a pier extension, but before the west arm became a marina. Beside the west arm, is the grey roofed fish market. Beside the south arm, a range of tall warehouse buildings contains the Harbourmaster's office and a Fisheries Museum. The rectangular park, James Square, is in the heart of the town at centre left. Part of it was once famously ploughed up by the feu superior, Captain James Brander-Dunbar, in a dispute with the Town Council. Beyond the town, the view stretches along Stotfield Links, past the golf course as far as Silver Sands Caravan Park.
