Findhorn history
Original settlement
The existing settlement is the second village to bear this name, the original having been a mile to the northwest of the present position and inundated by the sea . This transposition was not an overnight catastrophe but a gradual withdrawal from the earlier site during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries .
Major seaport
In the seventeenth century Findhorn was the principal seaport of Moray . Vessels regularly sailed to and from all parts of the North Sea and as far as the Baltic . Changes to the narrow and shallow entrance to the Bay created obstacles to navigation .
Fishing village
During the 1829 floods known as “The Muckle Spate” five Findhorn fishing boats rescued Forres residents . For a few years (1860-9) there was a branch railway line to Findhorn railway station in the village .
Modern times
The early twentieth century saw a decline in fishing as the traditional two-masted zulus were replaced by larger vessels . The shore-based salmon fisheries lasted until the 1980s but they too are no more . Today the village is a dormitory suburb and leisure craft dominate the moorings .
