The Mosset Burn that feeds the little lake looks beautiful and well-disciplined today but it has been the source of heavy flooding, distress and dispossession in the not so distant past. It's only a small burn and doesn't have the raw unpredictable splendour of the Findhorn but there is a salmon loch higher up its reaches which burst its banks about ten years ago with disastrous results. Areas of Forres have been flooded several times in the last few decades and some residents have lived in their houses long enough to have been been flooded out each time. They still don't want to leave the family home so go through the drying out process and return. Hopefully new flood prevention measures will stop this happening in the future.
I'm all right Jack. I'm on a hill.
