Lossiemouth

Lossiemouth

      North Sea fishing port and holiday resort, Moray council area and historic county, Scotland. The town developed from several old fishing villages including Seatown, Branderburgh—built around a new harbour (1830) and now Lossiemouth's business centre—and the later settlement of Stotfield. Lossiemouth was Elgin's port in the 15th century but declined along with the fishing industry until its prosperity was revived by the tourist trade and the proximity of British Royal Air Force bases at Fulmar and Kinloss. Fishing remains economically important. J. Ramsay MacDonald (MacDonald, Ramsay), first Labour prime minister of the United Kingdom, was born there. Pop. (2001) 6,803.
