Synopsis
Publisher's Synopsis:
The author traces what has been "lost" from the old counties of Moray and Nairn, both architecturally and socially. Packed with illustrations of places, buildings and of aspects of life which are now vanished, he demonstrates not only how the burghs of Nairn, Forres and Elgin have evolved over the centuries, but also shows how change has affected smaller towns and villages. He explores those elements which have been lost from the coastal towns, with particular emphasis on the demise of the ports of Findhorn, Nairn and Garmouth, and the mor recent decline in the fishing interest.
His journey through the region takes him from prehistory to the present day, during which he examines everything from geology, architecture and agriculture to industry and communications.
