The Harbour is protected upon the North and East by a Strong built Breakwater, Consisting of Dry Masonry, which stands about 10 feet above High water mark. The entrance at the harbour is very narrow and difficult of access, but when once entered vessels can remain with perfect safety, and at ordinary tides vessels drawing sixteen feet of water can enter quite easily. It is the property of the Elgin and Lossiemouth Harbour Commissioners. |
