The excavations here are part of a multi-million pound scheme to prevent, or at least mitigate the effects of, flooding in Elgin. The meandering River Lossie is at the foot of the steep bank in the background, and in the foreground there is the head of a drainage ditch which will channel water seeping out of the ground at Chanonry Industrial Estate into the Linkwood Burn and eventually into the River Lossie.
