LossiemouthLossiemouth is a town in Morayshire. Originally the port belonging to Elgin, it became an important and innovative fishing town. Although there has been over a 1,000 years of settlement in the area, the present day town was formed over the past 250 years and consists of four separate communities that eventually merged into one. There were villages along the shore here long since (Stotfield, Kinneddar, which disappeared, and Seatown between the river and the canal) Lossiemouth itself was founded at the creation of a new harbour on the River Lossie, the 18th Century; Lossiemouth was built as a planned town on a grid system, and it came to incorporate Stotfield and Seatown, which retain building s older than the town of which they now form a part.
