Site Summary
Dynamic Coast Scotland’s National Coastal Change Assessment Dynamic Coast – Scotland’s National Coastal Change Assessment Site Summary Culbin (including Nairn) (Site 33) 0 Dynamic Coast Scotland’s National Coastal Change Assessment Disclaimer The evidence presented within the National Coastal Change Assessment (NCCA) must not be used for property level of scale investigations. Given the precision of the underlying data (including house location and roads etc.) the NCCA cannot be used to infer precise extents or timings of future erosion. The likelihood of erosion occurring is difficult to predict given the probabilistic nature of storm events and their impact. The average erosion rates used in NCCA contain very slow periods of limited change followed by large adjustments during storms. Together with other local uncertainties, not captured by the national level data used in NCCA, detailed local assessments are unreliable unless supported by supplementary detailed investigations. The NCCA has used broad patterns to infer indicative regional and national level assessments to inform policy and guide follow-up investigations. Use of these data beyond national or regional levels is not advised and the Scottish Government cannot be held responsible for misuse of the data. Culbin (including Nairn) (Site 33) Historic Change: The beaches and sand dunes at Culbin stretch between the mouth of the River Findhorn and Nairn, its inland dunes and beach ridges covering an area of 5,000 hectares. Whilst much of the dunes were stabilised after the First World War and now contain extensive pine plantations, the beaches are some of the most spectacular in Scotland and are our most dynamic beaches.

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.

The Knock of Alves forms the E. part of a narrow ridge a mile and a half in length to the N. of which the coastal plain extends for four miles to the shore of the Mor ay Firth at Hopeman. The Knock rises from the general level of the ridge to attain a height of 335 feet O. D., and commands an extensive view in all directions except the E. where Quar r y Wood Hill, distant one mile, stands 100 feet higher. The fort, which occupies the whole of the higher part of the Knock, is very ruinous; some parts of the defences lie in conifer plantations and others under thick heather and wh i n s , while a modern track, a monument, a mausoleum, ploughing and quarrying have also playeq their parts in the mutilation of the remains. The uppennost recognizable work is an enclosure measuring 125 feet from E. to W. by 75 feet transversely. The cw:. E. and S. are 'f or med by mere crestlines along which a very few stones and boulders appear, but to the W. and N. the rickle of stones representing a ruined wall (I) is much more conspicu- :ous.

SOLD BY THE AGENTS FOR THE COURANT; AND BY ALL BOOKSELLERS. : ELGIN PRINTED AT THE COURANT OFFICE, PREFACE, Thu ''Morayshire Directory" is issued in the hope that it will be found satisfactorily comprehensive and reliably accurate, The greatest possible care has been taken in verifying every particular contained in it ; but, where names and details are so numerous, absolute accuracy is almost impossible. 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.

Man in Moray
10 0 I w! Fig.2.1 Moray. MANIN MORAY 5,000 years of history Ian Keillar Synopsis The extent of Moray is defined and the physical conditions briefly described. Traces of Mesolithic man have been found in the Culbin, and later Neolithic peoples found Moray an attractive place to settle. As metal working became established, trades routes followed and Moray flourished. As the climate deteriorated, so, apparently, did the political situation and defensive sites became necessary. The Romans came and went and the Picts rose and fell. The Vikings did not linger on these shores and MacBeth never met any witches near Forres. The Kings of Scots divided and ruled until they themselves set a pattern, which still continues, that if you want to get on you must go south to London. In distant Moray, brave men like Montrose and foolish men like Prince Charles Edward, fought for their rightful king. The Stuarts, however, ill rewarded their followers. Road makers and bridge builders half tamed the rivers, and the railways com pleted the process. With wars came boom years for the farmers, but even feather beds wear out and Moray is once more in apparent decline. However, all declines are relative and the old adage still has relevance: 'Speak wee] o the Hielans but live in the Laich.' Physical The name Moray is now applied to a local authority administrative District extending from west of Forres and the Findhorn to Cullen and stretching down in an irregular triangle into the highlands of the Cairngorms (Fig.2. l ). In Medieval times, Moray reached as far as Lochalsh on the west coast and there has always been some difficulty in defining the bound aries of the province.

Excavations by the Late G D B Jones and C M Daniels Along the Moray Firth Littoral
Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 131 (2001), 177–222 Excavations by the lateGDBJones and C M Daniels along the Moray Firth littoral Richard A Gregory* ABSTRACT Between 1984 and 1990 the late G D B Jones and C M Daniels from the Universities of Manchester and Newcastle-upon-Tyne respectively undertook excavation at four large rectilinear cropmark sites at Easter Galcantray (Nairnshire), Thomshill and Balnageith (Morayshire), and Boyndie (Banffshire) (now Highland, Moray and Aberdeenshire Council areas respectively). This work successfully identified discrete phases of activity dating from the Neolithic through to historic times. It was the excavators’ belief that the rectilinear enclosures had been Roman military fortifications relating to the Agricolan advance into north-eastern Scotland. This paper documents the evidence acquired through this fieldwork, and attempts to present and assess the interpretation which the excavators placed on their discoveries. PREAMBLE AND CONTEXT In 1980 Professor G D B Jones, at the invitation of Ian Keillar, visited the Moray Firth for the first time, and initiated a programme of fieldwork which continued for some 20 years (cf Keillar 1999a). The context of this work was intimately connected to Jones’ controversial belief that the Roman army probably penetrated the far north-east of Scotland during the Flavian period as part of the Agricolan invasion of Scotland. Initially, fieldwork took the form of an aerial survey, but this was later supplemented by a campaign of excavation over the course of the 1980s. This work concentrated on four large, rectilinear, cropmark sites, which were considered by Jones to be morphologically unique for the area and which, due to their form, might potentially furnish direct evidence for the suspected presence of the Roman army in Moray.

A Cordoned Urn Burial with Faience from 102 Findhorn, Moray
Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 131 (2001), 101–128 A Cordoned Urn burial with faience from 102 Findhorn, Moray Ian A G Shepherd* & Alexandra N Shepherd† with contributions by A McDonald, F Powell, J A Sheridan & P Wilthew ABSTRACT This paper describes the discovery of a large Cordoned Urn containing the cremated remains of an adult female (aged between 18 and 25 years) and an infant either in the third trimester of pregnancy or newborn. The urn also contained 22 mostly fragmentary segmented beads and one star-shaped bead, all of faience. The urn had been inverted in a pit in a sand ridge and an additional deposit of pyre debris placed over the upper fill of the pit. This deposit contained two faience beads, one star- shaped and incomplete, the other quoit-shaped, and a small chunk of grey flint. The urn is very similar to one found on the adjacent Culbin Sands in the 19th century and the beads can also be paralleled there. A radiocarbon determination of 3410±50 (OxA-7622, which calibrates to 1880–1520 cal ) has been obtained from charcoal from the pyre debris. This is the largest single find of faience in Britain and Ireland, and the only example of segmented, quoit and star-shaped beads being found together. INTRODUCTION The burial described in this paper was revealed as a result of site preparation for the building of an extension at no 102 Findhorn, a house in the small village of that name at the mouth of the River Findhorn in Moray (illus 1). The village occupies the sand ridge that forms the east side of the present estuary of the river.
