Scope and Content Burghead Harbour, Morayshire This harbour is situated on a headland projecting into the Moray Firth, the site of an ancient settlement. The works consist of a rectangular basin with its entrance protected by a breakwater. This view shows the basin from the north east. The slope in the foreground is to absorb the energy in waves entering the harbour. On the left is one of s group of granaries used to store grain awaiting shipment. This harbour was designed for coastal shipping and for fishing. It was improved in 1832, 1835, 1881-7 and in the late 1980s. It is still used by inshore fishing vessels and by small coasting vessels.
