Shake Cameron the Pilot
Shake Camerson (pictured on the left) was a pilot at Findhorn who used to row out to the schooners in the Moray Firth to guide them into Findhorn Bay. He used to tell his grandson all about the houses that are buried in the Culbin Sands. He remembered that when a storm blew some of the houses were uncovered by the wind and that he had managed to get inside of one which was still full of household items. When he went back a day later it was gone; covered again by the sand. Shake’s grandson and his friends also went across the bay to the dunes as a child before the trees took over the Sands. They saw chimneys sticking out of the sand and shouted down them, hearing voices coming back to them. |
