📷 Snowy East Beach by Graham Preston

Have you ever walked along a snowy beach, as the seawater melts the snowline?

It's a unique experience, and this snowy scene captured by Graham Preston is the featured image for December in the Lossiemouth Calendar. @gpphotography.1

This is our final image from the LBA Photo Competition. Thank you again to everyone who entered, the standard was higher than ever, but as always we can sadly only choose twelve winning images. Next year, it might be one of yours!

The calendars have been flying out of shops, only a few left. Buy online or from Ian Watt Garage, Unique or Browns or McClintocks.

And our final sponsoring business for the calendar is Morscot Utilities. Morscot are an indepedent energy and utilities management company, based in Lossiemouth. As energy brokers, they help businesses get the best deals on their utilities and the lowest energy prices.

This is particularly important at the moment, so if you're a business, of any size, and you want someone you can trust to help guide you through the complexity of telecomms, broadband, gas & electric and more, call 01343 544 444 and speak to the local experts.

📷 Harbour Reflections by Tony Sanderson

It's said that the old herring boats used to be packed so tightly together in the harbour that you could walk from one side of the basin to the other without getting your feet wet.

These days only a few creel boats remain, the fishing fleet replaced by modern yachts and cruisers.

The old harbour has been rebranded as Lossiemouth Marina, with excellent facilities to welcome visitors from around the UK and beyond.

Next time you go for a stroll around the marina, breathe in the sea air and appreciate the stunning skies, as captured so beautifully by Tony in this image, but perhaps also pause and reflect on all those that went before.

This image is one of the winning photos from the LBA photo competition and is the featured shot for October in the Lossiemouth 2024 Calendar.

The calendar is on sale from retails outlets across town, including Browns, Unique and Ian Watts Garage. It costs just £7.50.

You can also order online for delivery or collection via the link in bio.

A big thank you to Brown's Giftware on Queen St (next to the Restore) for sponsoring October in the calendar. This beautiful shops offers carefully curated gifts from local producers and makers. It's also licensed to sell alcohol, and is a great place to stock up on quality wines and spirits including @avvascottishgin gins and liqueurs.

📷 Tramonto by Colin Conti

'Tramonto' means 'sunset' in Italian. (We looked it up!)

And this image of the sun setting behind the lighthouse over the wet sands of West Beach won the judges over, and scooped first prize in the LBA Photo competition.

The judges particularly liked the figures silhouetted against the sky. Always nice to see folk enjoying our beautiful coastline.

Congratulations, Colin, your image is on the front page of the LBA Lossiemouth 2024 calendar (available online via link in bio) as well as featuring as September's image.

While you're strolling along a sunset beach, you could be enjoying a bubble tea, a freshly made fruit smoothie or a delicious buddha bowl of crunchy veggies and lean protein from Fountain, the juice bar above the coop on Queen St, situated in Younger Day Spa.

Fountain Juice Bar offers drinks, snacks and lunches to take away that taste so good, you'd never realise how nutritious they are!

Thanks to Fountain for sponsoring September in the LBA calendar.

📷 Birds Over Lossiemouth by John Macgregor

🦆Low tide on the Lossie estuary is a haven for birdlife.

For once, where they should be, in their natural habitat!

🦅 When you turn the Lossiemouth 2024 calendar to April, John's beautiful photo will remind you that the resident ospreys will be returning any time now. Keep an eye out for those big wings and the white underbelly.

📷 Bridge to Happiness by Liz Sinclair

Winter sunrises can be particularly stunning from East Beach, and Liz's shot of an early morning walker on the new bridge won the judges over in the LBA photo competition.

Liz has been a prolific contributor to the @VisitLossiemouth accounts, and in fact, entered several potential winners into the calendar competition, but ultimately we could only choose one image, and this felt like a fitting scene for March. Congratulations, Liz!

The calendar is available to buy online (see link in bio) and from outlets across town, including Ian Watt Garage, The Restore, Browns Giftware, McClintocks Optical Boutique, Unique and the LCDT office.

Thanks also to @twentynineteen_coffee for sponsoring March. This little cafe by the lighthouse serves great coffee, homebakes and freshly cooked food throughout the year, their Mothers Day special teas will go down a treat in March!
