Old Harbour

Will I or won't I?? The Robin (Erithacus rubecula) This little Robin greets me every morning and is becoming more daring and more tame on each visit. This Robin is taking no chances though and here you see it cast a weather eye before digging into the offered meal worms. — Will I or won't I?? The Robin (Erithacus rubecula) Credit: Des Colhoun

The town's rich history can also be experienced through its architecture, with several historic buildings and landmarks dotting the landscape.

Entering Lossiemouth Harbour The harbour entrance faces east, and it can be quite exciting getting in if there is a big swell from the east; that is, if you can get in at all. Fortunately the weather was benign today.
