Farewell, Graham, and Haste Ye Back

February 7, 2016 by 2

Jean Symon, Session Clerk at St James’ Church, gave the following speech at Rev. Graham Crawford’s Farewell Party in the Fellowship Hall on Saturday 06 February 2016, prior to handing over gifts from the congregation to Graham and Jane (ad libs in italics):

There are good stories about fishing……

Fourteen years ago or so, we went in search of a minister to lead this faithful congregation.

The search was quite long, and proved to be quite difficult. There were those who really wanted to join us here in Lossiemouth, and they were very keen; it’s just that we hadn’t yet found the right minister.

So, although, we travelled to picturesque spots in the south of Scotland, meeting people, we were back to the drawing board.

So we felt we had to fish in deeper, more remote, waters. [Read more…]

Mouth of the River Lossie from the East Beach - Detail

Sale of St Gerardine’s Church Buildings delayed by artefacts

February 1, 2026 By 2

By way of an update regarding the sale of the former St. Gerardine’s High Church buildings, the property is “under offer”.

In the (pre-new East Beach Bridge) photograph below, St. Gerardine’s is the building with the spire, more or less in the middle of the picture. The former St. James’ Church (which remains open, as part of Laich of Moray Parich Church – see further below) is the building with the very pointy spire, towards the right hand side of the photo.

Mouth of the River Lossie, Lossiemouth

There are three historic artefacts which remain in the church which will have to be removed before the sale can finally proceed. These are: the Kinneddar Pillar, Drainie Memorial and Stotfield Disaster Memorial Plaque.

The Kirk Session of Laich of Moray Parish Church (formerly, until 31 January 2026, Lossiemouth Parish Church) are doing their best to relocate these items.

The Kirk Session have probably been able to find a new home for the Disaster Memorial Plaque but are still seeking a suitable place or places for the other two artefacts.

We have several local organisations and people assisting in this search, for whose help we are very grateful.

We will provide a further update whenever possible. Recent photos of the 3 historic artefacts are set out below.
