Spynie Canal is about 7 miles long. It was built in 1808-1812 to a plan by Thomas Telford to drain the low-lying land between Elgin and the coast. It was damaged by the great floods of 1829, but rebuilt in 1860-1863. In the background here are some of the buildings in Lossiemouth, where the canal reaches the estuary of the River Lossie.
