A Fine Day Out in Lossiemouth!
T
hose of us fortunate to live in Lossie share a secret. We know just how much there is to see and do in and around the town, even though we can’t get to the East Beach just now. But we can’t afford to keep this secret to ourselves. According to a recent study, commissioned by the Lossiemouth Business Association, the loss of the East Beach Bridge cost the town £1.5m in lost revenue, and that was before Covid came into the equation. Something needed to be done! In December, the LBA won a £5k grant from the Scotland Loves Local fund, for a campaign to highlight all the fabulous things there are to do here, to encourage people to come to Lossie and spend a whole day here. Masterminded by local marketer, Alison Read, the campaign is based around a series of suggested itineraries for local day trippers to make the most of their visit and enjoy ‘A Fine Day Out’! For example, how about A Family Day Out full of ice creams, play parks and rockpools? Or A Natural Day Out spotting ospreys and dolphins? Or perhaps afternoon tea and a stroll round the shops on A Leisurely Day Out is more your style? A visit to Moray’s zero waste refill shop The Re:store is a must. Shop, dine and unwind at Marina Quay with a wonderful outlook, browse the wonderful collections at MY ladies boutique then maybe pair with beautiful glasses or sunglasses from McClintock’s Optical Styling Boutique. If it’s that special day you are shopping for then you must book a visit to With this Dress, you will be treated like a princess.

Younger Day Spa Ltd will ensure you are pampered from head to toe too. The guests or Mother of the Bride are well catered for at Unique along by the promenade. Your appetite is well catered for too, choose to sit out on the promenade at the Salt Cellar for lunch or evening meal, with seafood to die for. If you need to work up that appetite then a surfing lesson from Donald at the New Wave Surf School might just do the trick. If golf’s your game then play a round at Moray Golf Club then sit and enjoy an equally stunning view from the Golf View Hotel on the outskirts of town, check out facebook for their menu and pictures of fabulous looking desserts.
