Description:
|
This mid-18th century map shows the river Spey between New Lunan and Ordiequish, Morayshire. The names of neighbouring landowners are marked. There is a small elevation drawing of Gordon Castle, home of the Duke of Gordon. By the late 16th century the town of Fochabers had became established beside the road leading to the river crossing, as shown on this plan. In the 1770s it was redeveloped by the Gordons on a regular grid pattern. The River Spey crossing ferry and its boathouse are marked on the plan. The ferry was the only means of crossing at this point until the first bridge was built in 1804.
