This year we open for the season on Saturday 4 th May. As usual we will be open weekend afternoons 2pm to 5pm in May and September and every afternoon in June, July and August. This year is the 80 th Anniversary of D Day so we expect plenty of interest in our exhibits relating to the practice landings along this part of the coast by the 3 rd British Infantry Division. New this year, we have short film showing a brilliant computer animation which portrays how the harbour might have appeared in 1860, complete with the Findhorn Railway engine shunting trucks near the pier. This has been created by local resident Neil Millington. Our X Class sailing boat is currently away being restored at the workshop of local boatbuilder Martin Cruden but will be returning to our site soon. Our boat, Fulmar Petrel (X15), is one of only 3 surviving examples of the class which was first sailed in the 1920s. We were fortunate to receive a grant for this project from the Heritage Lottery Fund. As usual our fascinating and informative sightings board will be regularly updated by our resident ornithologist Richard. We look forward to welcoming you.
