Yet, according to Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, 1 during the memorable rise of this river in 1829 "the inundation covered a space of something more than twenty square miles in the plain of Forres. " The authority of this author has never to our knowledge been questioned, and the statement is given in italics in his fascinating volume on the floods of Moray. He relates how the river rose to a height of 50 feet, and that "the waves, at this meeting of the waters" (of the Findhorn and the Divie), " were... terrific, tossing themselves 20 feet into the air, and throwing up the drift trees and other bodies to a great height. " There was enormous loss of land and of property of all kinds, and incidents of hairbreadth escapes of the terrified inhabitants from isolated cottages, who in most cases were found clinging to their chimneys and roofs, furnish to this day exciting tales for many an ingle- nook.
