Statement of Interest

Harbour at Stotfield Point, Branderburgh, constructed 1837-9, superseding the earlier harbour fronting Clifton Road,

Lossiemouth. The earlier portion of the warehouse range

originally included stable accommodation. This block shows up

on George McWilliam's plan of Branderburgh, 1855 but not

the range which includes the harbour master's office which

appears on the 1st ed. OS 1870.

Upgraded B to A, 24.3.88.
