Scope and Content Granaries, 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 most northerly of the row of granaries on the east quay. These were built for the storage of grain awaiting shipment. The hinterland of Burghead is one of the best grain-growing areas in Scotland. 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.
