018.11 | The road now approaches the ruin and there was little more than room for its bed between the road and the opposite bank which is formed by the high projecting land of Aikenway which gives name to an ancient Castle, the ruins of of which may yet be traced on the top of the Rock. Though the River was here so greatly Contracted - the distance from the promontory to the opposite hill being only 237 feet- yet the Railway has thrust itself between it and the Road. Here during the flood of 1829, the River rose 20 feet 10 inches above its ordinary height, and 15 inches above the mark made to record the much-talked-of flood of 1768. its general Course has hitherto been from West to east; but this promontory makes it henceforth pursue a Northerly direction, till it falls into the Sea, In the rocks on the right hand side of the Road will be found narrow veins of Barytes, or heavy Spar.

Ordnance Survey - Moray county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Moray, which is in the north east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
