	Historical perspective for Lossie, River (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		ossie, a river of Elginshire, which rises in the parish of Dallas, near Carn Kitty (1711 feet), where the parishes of Dallas, Edinkillie, and Knockando meet, 14 miles SW of the city of Elgin.
		The upper part of its course is bleak and bare, but there are pretty parts from Dallas church downwards, particularly in the neighbourhood of the city of Elgin, where one of the banks is always well wooded, and sometimes both.
		The river and its tributaries afford good trout fishing (only three salmon have been captured within the last twenty years); and though the fishings are let by the proprietor, the Earl of Moray, the tenant allows the public to fish.—Ord.

		The first village in the vicinity of the mouth of the River Lossie was probably at Stotfield - located a mile or so to the north-west of the river mouth across the Coulard Hill.
		Following the heavy silting over the centuries at the Lossie's original mouth at Spynie, the businessmen of Elgin decided to develop a port at the river's new mouth at the south-eastern base of the Coulard Hill around 1700.
		The new port at the rivermouth attracted fisherfolk and a small community of fishermen became established on a piece of land where the Spynie Canal met the River Lossie by the late 1700s.

	CLIMATE CHANGE: FLOODING OCCURRENCES REVIEW: page 5 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Irvine record is difficult to interpret since the flow behaviour of the river changed in the late 1970s with the construction of upstream flood defences.
		Exceptions to this pattern were the River Lossie and downstream River Spey in the north-east, and the Nith and White Cart in the south-west.
		The Dee and Irvine records are valuable on account of their greater length, and it is important to note that mean flood magnitudes on both rivers have reached higher values in earlier parts of their records (early 1950s for the Dee and early 1930s/early 1960s for the Irvine) than in the last two decades.

		From 1806 onwards the fisher population in the Seatown increased, mainly from the boys in Stotfield Disaster, and by 1826 there was a sizeable fleet of boats fishing from the River Lossie.
		Quays on the west side of the river mouth gave good landing berths for the schooners and barques landing and loading their merchandise, but the fishermen drew up their boats on the beach in front of the Seatown; the women folk doing most of the launching of the boats when the men went to sea.
		The fishermen of the Seatown still used the river to work from, but they too were soon to start using the harbour; for the opening of the new harbour coincided with the start of the great herring fishery which drew herring boats and herring curers to the Moray Firth.

		Lossiemouth is located in the Moray Firth around 6 miles North of Elgin on the A941 road and at the mouth of the River Lossie.
		The resulting Loch of Spynie, although noted for its beauty and its swans, was useless to shipping, and the Town Council of Elgin established a harbour at the mouth of the Lossie to handle the increasing trade.
		A new impetus was given by the rise of the herring fishing in the nineteenth century.

		A documentary reference of 1851 states that ruins of the Blackfriars buildings were visible at the west end of the "Borrowbriggs", to the south of a pool or pond (stank) formed by the River Lossie.
		It is claimed that this event took place after a battle between the Earls of Moray and Huntly in 1452; the Earl of Huntly's troops burnt down the half of the town of Elgin which was siding with the Earl of Moray (Shaw, 1827, p 263).

	The Land we Made
		In the 15th century, the proprietors, the Bishops of Elgin, had the bed of the River Lossie lowered in order to drain it.
		In 1609, Bishop Douglas had further works carried out, to exclude the River Lossie and run drains to the loch.
		Eventually, in 1779, James and Alexander Brander of Pitgaveny managed to reclaim over 1,000 acres by partly draining the loch, only to be stopped by a neighbouring proprietor who claimed the loch was his.

		The task group, set up by the Moray authority in 2001, is recommending that councillors should back plans to build a massive flood-protection wall through the centre of Elgin to hold back the rising waters and prevent further flood disasters hitting the town.
		The flood prevention scheme, which will also involve widening the channel of the River Lossie at strategic points, will require the demolition of a number of residential and commercial properties and the loss of designated industrial development land as well the site used by travelling people in Elgin.
		The River Lossie has a documented history of flooding dating back 250 years.

	25/2/2004 - Water Conserve: Scottish council pours £95 million down the drain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The proposed drastic flood alleviation scheme involves the construction of 10km of unsightly, and probably ineffective, 2-metre-high river defence walls along the Lossie River, and the wide-scale demolition of properties and bridges.
		In this Act, there is a requirement to promote ‘sustainable flood management.’ Under the WEWSA, Moray Council would be under a duty to have examined the flood processes at a catchment level, identified the stakeholders, and then presented the capacity for sustainable flood management.
		No estimate of the capacity for sustainable flood management in the Lossie catchment was presented.

		Lossiemouth was developed as a new port for Elgin after the original port of Spynie was cut off from the sea when large deposits of sand and shingle were formed by the River Lossie.
		Although the Loch of Spynie was renowned for its beauty, it no longer served as a shipping port and a new harbour was established at the mouth of the River Lossie.
		In the nineteenth century, when the herring industry was at its peak, the present harbour was built to cater for the increased fishing fleet.

	Walk #547: Lossiemouth to Portknockie
		As it was still relatively early and I had covered a good distance I did not mind having a long breakfast, and we chatted for ages as we looked out of the windows at the views.
		I was very glad of this, as it allowed me to cross the River Spey on a magnificent viaduct instead of having to walk many miles further south to the next bridge.
		Follow this path eastwards for a kilometre as it crosses the River Spey on an attractive bridge, and on the other side turn left to head northwards along a track for a kilometre until a car park is reached in Tugnet.

		Mine was an eight-pound salmon taken at pre-teen age one Easter from the Bow Brig stretch of the River Lossie at Elgin whilst worming there with some mates, and which I proudly displayed across the handlebars of my bike as I bore the trophy fish home in triumph.
		Yes, it would be a hard-hearted angler indeed, who did not feel sorry for the pure silver perfection of the fish and the many river and marine trials which it had survived during its life, before being fatally lured by the skill of the fisherman.
		Local river enthusiasts would certainly have been in full action by now, had even half the spectacular thunder-and-lightning deluge which I experienced in just one day last Friday whilst on holiday in Surrey (in a week of otherwise wall-to-wall blue sky), had materialised up here!
