]]> Findhorn village dates from 1702, but there was an earlier settlement inundated by tidal waters.

Findhorn’s importance in the 18th and early 19th centuries as the entrepot for Forres and Nairn cannot be over-emphasised, the village owned by the Roses of Kilravock (see Quay Cottage and Kilravock) from the late 1600s to 1776 when sold to the Munros of Novar, Ross-shire. Sea and salmon fishing have also played a great part in the economy of the village.

The houses fronting the bay and harbour originate as sea captains’ and merchant dwellings, including the premises occupied by the Royal Findhorn Yacht Club, mostly dating from the 18th century and having windows in the seaward gables, commanding the coming and going of shipping. The fishertown of single-storey cottages (some now raised to two storeys) is to the east, linked to the shore by numerous foot paths or ‘lanes’ (see above).

Most of the earlier buildings are individually Listed (the icehouse also Scheduled) and the greater part of the village included within an Outstanding Conservation Area, all designated by Historic Scotland.

Fishing, particularly salmon fishing, has played a great part in the village economy: the salmon fishing era vividly interpreted by the Heritage Centre within one of the icehouses close to the former salmon green (for drying nets on poles) and former fishhouse (where salmon were prepared for sale and export).

]]> The Institute is a former chandlery. Any profits from the sale of refreshments during Doors Open Day will go to installing an electrical mechanism for winding the clock which currently has to be wound by hand every few days.

]]> Built in 1843 as a Free Church to a design by John Urquhart (1795-1869), architect/builder. A native of Forres, Urquhart worked for many years in Edinburgh, returning to his native town in 1841. The design, with its pilastered doorway and upper lunettes (semi-circular lights), is unusual, quietly restrained and with some similarity to Free Churches by John Cousins, architect, Edinburgh, whose work may have influenced Urquhart.

]]> U-plan range of dwellings (now flatted) entered through an arched pend. Former warehouse with stables and, the building served as station for the short lived Findhorn Railway linking the village with Kinloss between 1860 and 1869.

]]> This former post office has 18th-century cellar/storage accessed from the road. The row of houses, of 19th-century date, are said to have been built on the site of a former warehouse.

]]> Mid-19th Century Commercial Icehouse built to support the local Coastal Salmon Netting industry. The underground chambers were used to store natural ice which kept the fish fresh on their way to the London Markets. The chambers now contain displays relating to the Salmon Fishing. Children’s quiz available. The museum opposite the Icehouse will also be open.

]]> From c1900 onwards some attractive villas were built close to the shore between Kinloss and the village.
The Roundhouse was recently completed to an innovative circular design by the owner/architect, Graham Brown.

]]> Altyre has been owned since the 14th century by the Comyn (Cumming) family (Gordon Cumming from 1795).

In 1891 Sir William Gordon Cumming married his American fiancee, Florence Josaphine Garner, a cotton heiress, and they settled at Altyre. Until the Wall Street Crash of 1929, they spent lavishly on the estate, first commissioning the Inverness Arts and Crafts architect WL Caruthers, and then John Kinross, based in Edinburgh. Kinross is known for his elegant, finely detailed and executed designs.

]]> Built as a mortuary chapel for Sir Robert Gordon, 3rd Baronet of Gordonstoun who succeeded his father in 1688. Educated at St Andrew’s University, much travelled, well read and a keen amateur chemist he was soon looked on as eccentric. The Michael Kirk is reached along a path from Gordonstoun named the ‘Silent Walk’ as those attending worship were expected to walk there in silence.

One of the pillars at the entrance to the enclosure has a rude, vigorous carving of a bearded savage, seemingly in a loin cloth, standing on an upturned leaf, a club over each shoulder, a crude Ionic capital acting as halo. His twin can be seen top right on the 1705 Gordon memorial inside the chapel, one cudgel less.

The chapel was re-roofed and furnished as an Episcopal chapel for Lady Gordon Cumming in 1900. It was reconditioned for use by the School before the construction of St Christopher’s in 1966, though the congregation usually had to stand in the open! It is now used for small school services, family weddings and similar occasions. In the graveyard, the medieval Ogstoun market cross survives with some very fine tombstones.

]]> Unusual circular former steading and service range or square of offices built in the late 17th century. Predominately two-storey, the alternating taller
sections with crow-stepped gables. The range is now converted for residential use, classrooms and library (with curved book shelves).

It is close to the Round Square and is of the beehive type dating from c1600. The Beehive Doocot contains around 700 nesting boxes for pigeons destined for the table.

There is a second doocot on the estate converted from a windmill in 1731.

]]> Designed in 1966 by Patrick Huggins, a former student, after a competition amongst three architectural practices.

Built in the jagged profile, ribbed concrete, convex walled style fashionable in the 1960’s. Very calm, soothing interior.

The design and layout reflect the School’s brief; to gather the congregation closely around the speaker, to give equal emphasis to the lectern and communion table, underlining the School’s multi-faith composition, to make use of light, simplicity in design and of traditional and modern materials.

]]> Designed as an open square by George Kennedy in 1939 using timber naval construction, the walls taper outwards from base to eaves and the main entrance has a hull shaped pediment. Cumming House is 'B-listed.

Sadly the square was not completed. Named after Lady Smith-Cumming, a friend of the founder of the School.

Exterior viewing only as the building is in residential use by students.

]]> Acoustic screens and flexible seating rostra allow the 200 seat theatre to be converted to three separate teaching and rehearsal spaces so that the facility can be in use for the development of drama and dance throughout the year.

There is also a generous foyer which doubles as an exhibition and reception space. The detailing both internally and externally has been kept simple and practical. The metal curving wave-form roof brings relatively low eaves heights to minimise visual impact on the landscape and vistas around Gordonstoun.

]]> Built in 1959-60 in neo-Georgian style, a gift of the Besse family in memory of Antonin Besse, this building houses the School’s Fire and Coastguard Services, and, on the upper floor, an examination hall.

]]> A category B listed Italian Renaissance style museum built to commemorate Hugh Falconer, fossil collector, botanist and contemporary of Charles Darwin.

Around the exterior of the building are a number of carved heads depicting eminent scientists including Sir Issac Newton, James Watt and Hugh Millar. Inside is a purpose built Victorian museum including a Curator's flat, now incorporated into the museum's exhibition areas.

]]> Listed Category A structure, dating originally to at least the 13th century. The church is roofless but includes at its west end the base of a 14th century tower along with the remains of a 16th century porch. It was partially rebuilt possibly around 1739 for Presbyterian worship. It appears to have been unroofed during the 19th century prior to the erection of the new church in 1869.

Remains of Market Cross date to 14th century.

Surviving fragments of Abbey, dating from 13th to 16th centuries include portions of south transept of church including barrel vaulted chapel with early 19th century altar with cusped front and entrance dated 1830.

Stumps of cluster columns indicate nave; further remains below soil. Circular stair tower and ruins of 16th century Abbot's house stand immediately south of Abbey ruins, just outside burial ground.

]]> Greyfriars Convent is a large complex of buildings with the chapel as the focus. Listed Category A.

Founded in 1479 for the Franciscan Friars, Greyfriars was sold to the Sisters of Mercy in 1891. The ruined buildings of the Convent and Chapel were restored between 1896 and 1908 by the Marquis of Bute and his son Lord Colum Crichton-Stuart.

Still used as a convent chapel today, now by the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, the interior of the chapel is largely unchanged from when it was re-built. There is a lovely wooden barrel-vaulted roof structure, very finely carved wooden screen dividing the nave from the choir and a beautiful stained glass window above the altar.

]]> Built in the 1860s, the interior was extensively renovated in 2006 to accommodate the Justice of the Peace Court. Guided tours at 10:30, 12:30 and 2:30 supported by Sheriff Court staff who will provide information about the building and the work that goes on inside. Opportunity to see the cell block. No booking required.
