Garmouth, Moray
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Garmouth is a village in Moray, north east Scotland. It is situated close to the mouth of the River Spey, and the coast of the Moray Firth at nearby Kingston.
Garmouth has a claim to fame as the landing point of King Charles II on his return from exile in 1650. A plaque on a house in the village commemorates his signing there of the 1638 National Covenant and the 1643 Solemn League and Covenant shortly after coming ashore.
It is also a town in the book and the BBC television serial, "The Machine Gunners" by Robert Westall.
