Forestry Memories

Extract from Old Statistical Account describing Culbin Area and drifting sand dunes

The Old Statistical Account compiled and published by Sir John Sinclair contained references to the Culbin area in the parish of Dyke and Moy. This typed copy of a small part of the account was part of an archived file recovered from old shed store at Newton by Malcolm Hobson and Ruaridh Maxwell of Forestry and Land Scotland.

This copy describes some of the historical problems caused by the drifting sand covering the farmed land, blocking the River Findhorn and ‘removing’ the harbour and town of old Findhorn.
