Description:
This coloured plan shows the river Spey from Spey Bay at Garmouth inland to near Gordon Castle, by Fochabers. It was engraved by Thomas Phinn in Edinburgh in 1761, copied from a map surveyed by Alexander McGill in 1727. The map appears to have been produced for a dispute concerning fishing rights. The key describes the harbour, identified by ship symbols, which is dry at low tide. High tide lines and shingle banks are drawn in some detail. The fishing is divided into the lower reaches, which are fished by cobles or timber boats, and the higher reaches where currochs (curraghs) were used. Curraghs or coracles are boats with a light basket-like framework covered in cowhide.
