Branderburgh, West or New Harbour, Lossiemouth
(Historic Engineering Works no. HEW 2528)
The harbour was further enlarged in 1852 with the construction of a south basin and again in 1860 with an extension of the breakwater to the south-west and a new west basin. From 1892–94 the harbour was deepened to
allow access for vessels of greater draught. The harbour is now used for leisure activities and fishing.
