Parish of Urquhart
Extracts from New Statistical Account
The parish of Urquhart is bounded on the north by a line of sea [....]
5 miles in length, extending from the mouth of the river Lossie on the
west, to that of the river Spey on the east; And an equilateral triangle
erected on this line as a base, gives a pretty correct idea of its shape
and figure. It excludes from the sea the two contiguous parishes, St. [Saint] Andrews
Lhanbryd on the west, and Speymouth on the east, which two parishes
meet where the parish of Urquhart terminates on the south. The
barony of Garmouth, situated in the angle formed by the river Spey ........... -- Garmouth written & described
and the sea coast, was annexed, Quoad Sacra, to the parish of Speymouth;
but the teinds of that barony still form a part of the fund from which
the incumbant of Urquhart derives his income.
The sea coast, through its whole extent is a sandy beach, with the
exception of a small rock calld [called] "The Bear's Head", not visible at high water. ..... -- Bears Head Rock written and described

so much as a fishing boat. The small lake, called the Loch ......................... -- written & described
