Lossiemouth Marina Lossiemouth Marina
Made with Xara Marina The port  became Scotland’s main white fish port during a period of great  prosperity.  However, entry to the EU saw Scotland’s fishing rights bartered away and the fishing industry rapidly declined.  The ELHC, sensing a new liesure industry demand. fitted pontoons.  The Marina was born! Fishing Port Later, the harbour began to attract fishing boats and the arrival of a rail connection  allowed rapid transport of fresh fish to the south. Soon the initial basin (now the East Basin) proved inadequuate for the growing number of vessels using the harbour , principally fishing boats, and a new basin was built to the  west. Commercial Harbour Initially, a harbour was built about 1700 at the mouth of the river.   It was never a success and over a hundred years later, a new harbour was hewn out of the rock at Stotfield Point.  The company who carried this out was named, ‘The Elgin & Lossiemouth Harbour Co. (ELHC) This harbour was a commercial triumph and traded grain, whisky, coal and timber.
