Full Description
Historic core of Lossiemouth. The present Lossiemouth comprises four communities that were eventually merged: Stotfield to the west, Seatown to the east, and the planned towns of Lossiemouth and Branderburgh. Originating as a port for Elgin, the planned town was built in the 19th century. In 1835 the Lord of Pitgaveny opened a small harbour, the area around it becoming known as Branderburgh. Seatown was built around the same time, its cottages intended for fishermen. As Branderburgh expanded in the second half of the 19th century it merged into Seatown and Stotfield, and the area came ro be called Lossiemouth.
