Lossiemouth was originally the port belonging to Elgin. It later became an important and innovative fishing town in its own right.
The Lossiemouth Fisheries and Community Museum is housed in a former net mending loft situated in Pitgaveny Quay, Lossiemouth. The museum gives an insight into the Scottish fishing industry past and present. It also contains a reconstruction of James Ramsey MacDonald's study from his Lossiemouth house. Ramsey MacDonald was born in Lossiemouth and became the first Labour Prime Minister.
