Portknockie harbour works completed
Major repair work has been completed at one of Moray’s most popular leisure harbours.
The £560,000 investment at the Moray Council-owned harbour at Portknockie has seen repairs carried out on the piers and jetties.
The harbour dates from the late 19th century and was originally home to a thriving fishing fleet but in more recent times has served as a haven for pleasure craft.
Local councillor Ron Shepherd said the work would help secure the future of the harbour.
“It is a well-used harbour both by local boat owners and visitors and I am delighted that these improvement works have been completed before winter sets in,” he said.
