Scope and Content Kingston, in left foreground, was founded in the late 18th-C by shipbuilders from Kingston-upon-Hull. Using timber floated down the Spey, up to 7 shipyards were located between Kingston and Garmouth at the peak of the industry, which ceased in the 1890s. The area is at risk of flooding from river and sea. The landscaped car park in centre foreground gives access to The Lein -- a strip of shingle and dune terrain stretching west along the shoreline. Three pillboxes or block houses are just visible at storm beach level, all part of the WW2 Innes Links Coast Emergency Battery installation stretching between the rivers Spey and Lossie. A path, passing a "4-poster" stone setting, winds along the top of the wooded Browlands slope to the older village of Garmouth, in middle distance, beyond which flows the Spey. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
