At the entrance to Findhorn Bay on the Moray coast

the series of groynes along the shoreline are designed to prevent longshore drift of materials into the channel leading into the bay.
During the 19th century Findhorn relied heavily on fishing as did many other Scottish coastal populations. Such was the success of the fishing fleet at Findhorn that a branch railway line was built to transport the herring that were landed there.
Today Findhorn is widely known for the Findhorn Foundation which draws visitors from all over the world and is one of the largest intentional communities in Britain. File 0084.
