Quantification of Coastal Erosion Along Spey Bay and the Spey River Using Photogrammetry and Lidar Imagery-Derived Dtms Quantification of coastal erosion along Spey Bay and the Spey River using photogrammetry and LiDAR imagery-derived DTMs Raghavendra Jayamangal Master’s of Science Thesis in Geoinformatics TRITA-GIT EX 07-011 School of Architecture and the Built Environment Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) 100 44 Stockholm, Sweden June 2007 TRITA-GIT EX 07-011 ISSN 1653-5227 ISRN KTH/GIT/EX--07/011-SE ii Abstract Coastal erosion has become an important phenomenon for all the beaches in the world. There are many physical changes involved in the Coastal erosion. This paper is more concentrated towards the quantification of the coastal erosion and movements of sediments along the beach. It tries to understand the volumetric changes and Sediment movement along the Spey Mouth and River Spey. The thesis includes the study of the changes along the beach and river over a long period of time. The study area is located to the Northeastern part of the Scotland, UK. The area is located at Latitude 49 0N and Longitude 3 0W . The main purpose of this thesis work is to create the DTMs from the stereo images got from the year 2000 using the software Socet Set 5.3. Then Orthophotos are created using the same software for further study of the Geomorphologic changes along the Spey mouth and River Spey. The DTM and images derived from LiDAR in the year 2003 are also used to study the changes. This research explains the photogrammetrical methods used to generate the Orthophoto and DTM for the Lower Spey River and Spey beach. Using the generated models in the GIS analysis to calculate the volume and area change in the Spey area. This paper aims to visualize and understand the changes in height that took place from 2000 to 2003. The main objectives of this project include the calculation of the changes in volume of the Spey River and the Spey Bay Beach; generate the height changes in different parts of the Spey area and to visualize the processes.

    transport guide FOREWORD The Moray Forum is a constituted voluntary organisation that was established to provide a direct link between the Area Forums and the Moray Community Planning Partnership. The Forum is made up of two representatives of each of the Area Forums and meets on a regular basis. Further information about The Moray Forum is available on: www.yourmoray.org.uk Area Forums are recognised by the Moray Community Planning Partnership as an important means of engaging local people in the Community Planning process. In rural areas - such as Moray - transport is a major consideration, so in September 2011 the Moray Forum held its first transport seminar to look at the issues and concerns that affect our local communities in respect of access to transport. Two actions that came from that event was the establishment of a Passenger Forum and a Transport Providers Network. This work was taken forward by the Moray Forum Transport Working Group made up of representatives of the Area Forums, Moray Council, NHS Grampian, tsiMORAY, and community transport schemes. In September 2013 the Working Group repeated the seminar to see how much progress had been made on the actions and issues identified in 2011. As a direct result of the work of the Group this Directory has been produced in order to address an on-going concern that has been expressed of the lack of information on what transport is available in Moray, the criteria for accessing certain transport services, and where to go for further advice. The Moray Forum Transport Working Group would like to acknowledge the help of all the people who provided information for this Directory, and thereby made a contribution towards the integration of public, private and community transport services within Moray.

  • The Findhorn, Nairn & Speyside Local Flood Risk Management Plan
    Foreword The impacts of flooding experienced by individuals, communities and businesses can be devastating and long lasting. It is vital that we continue to reduce the risk of any such future events and improve Scotland’s ability to manage and recover from any events that occur. The publication of this Plan is an important milestone in implementing the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 and improving our understanding of flood risk and how we will manage floods in the Findhorn, Nairn and Speyside Local Plan District. The Plan translates this legislation into actions to reduce the damage and distress caused by flooding over the first planning cycle from 2016 to 2022 and beyond. Within the Local Plan District (LPD), areas with the greatest risk of flooding have been identified and these have been designated as Potentially Vulnerable Areas (PVAs). The actions identified in the Plan are within these PVAs. The current PVAs were designated using the best information available at the time and additional PVAs may be identified when investigation work is done during the development of future plans. In summary, there are fourteen areas that have been identified as being potentially vulnerable to flood risk across the Findhorn, Nairn and Speyside LPD. Across the entire district there are a total of 1,800 residential and 580 non-residential properties at risk of flooding with estimated Annual Average Damages of £5.9 million. The Findhorn, Nairn and Speyside Local Flood Risk Management Plan published by The Moray Council has been developed in partnership and with the agreement of: The Highland Council, Scottish Water; SEPA; Forestry Commission Scotland; and Cairngorms National Park Authority.

A few changes have taken place since the first sheets were printed, but, so far as is known, they are unimportant, It is believed the Directory now issued may be fully depended upon as a Book of Reference, and a Guide for the County of Moray and the Upper District of Banffshire, Giving names and information for each town arid parish so fully, which has never before been attempted in a Directory for any County in the JTorth of Scotland, has enlarged the present work to a size far beyond anticipation, and has involved much expense, labour, and loss of time. It is hoped, however, that the completeness and accuracy of the Book, on which its value depends, will explain and atone for a little delay in its appearance. It has become so large that it could not be sold at the figure first mentioned without loss of money to a large extent, The price has therefore been fixed at Two and Sixpence, in order, if possible, to cover outlays, Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/blacksmorayshire1863dire INDEX.

Core path road (ER 125) extends from ‘The Steadings’ on the B9104 to the Wildlife Centre. This joins an aspirational core path (4) to Bogmoor via the B9104. ER125 links into the Speyside Way which extends eastwards to Transportation Portgordon. A SUSTRANS route linking Garmouth to Nether Dallachy is situated to the south of Spey Bay, cutting across the B9104. The SUSTRANS route does not extend into settlement. There are no bus services to Tugnet. The boundary of the rural community was changed during the Planning History preparation of the Moray Local Plan 2008 (MLP 2008) to reflect the planning consent granted for a tourist development at the Spey Bay Hotel (04/02489/FUL). This included the demolition of the existing hotel, golf clubhouse, driving range and timber pavilion to create a golf associated development of a clubhouse, 3 new golf lodges, the refurbishment of existing holiday units to form overnight accommodation, the creation of 21 house sites, a waste water treatment works, oil tank to serve the clubhouse and associated roads. The development has not been implemented and consent has now lapsed. An application to change the use of an existing recreational building to licensed premises at the Golf Course was recently granted consent (11/00487/APP). Little other development has taken place in the rural community since 2000: one dwelling has been permitted and 3 self-catering units have been made into a private dwelling.

  • Finalised Area Profile 2015
    Craigellachie area, Moray Area profile The name Craigellachie derives from the Gaelic (Creag Eileachaidh) meaning “Rocky Hill”, due to the cliff on which most of the village sits. Located at the confluence of the rivers Spey and Fiddich the village can be dated back to at least 1750, when there was a ferry across the river Spey where the village now stands. With Scotland having the highest concentration of distilleries in the world and Speyside having around half of them, it is no surprise that Craigellachie has two of its own (Macallan & Craigellachie), the former of which is renowned for producing some of Scotland’s finest single malts. Craigellachie boasts the only working cooperage in the UK that provides access for the public. Since 1947 this family owned business has produced the finest casks, whilst many of these casks are exported across the world many also remain providing a vital ingredient to the proud heritage of whisky production in Moray. This profile is based upon an area in and around the main settlement of Craigellachie. For the purpose of this report the area will be referred to as Craigellachie.
