The Culbin Sands, the flora of which is described in the following paper, lie on the extreme west of the seaboard of Elginshire. They occupy the greater part of the promontory between the Moray Firth and the western shore of Findhorn Bay, and they stretch for upwards of six miles along the coast and have a maximum breadth of three miles. To the south lie the fertile reaches of the River Findhorn and the Muckle Water, while on the west the Culbin Sands, here known as the Maviston Sandhills, which enter some short distance into Nairnshire, are succeeded by flat heath and marsh.
