Details	Wooden boat with oak ribs found while ploughing in 1833. It was thought that it was lost circa 600 years before. Loch Spynie was an arm of the Moray Firth until it was cut off by the growth of shingle-bars in medieval times. The boat probably dates from before the late 18th century, when the Spynie Canal was dug to drain the area and reduce the loch to its present size.
