The Lossie is a river in Scotland . It is created by the confluence of several source streams in the sparsely populated highlands of Moray on the slopes of Carn Kitty . There is a distance of 31 km between the source and the mouth. Its course, however, has a length of 50 km, which reflects the meandering course of the Lossie. On the upper reaches, the river takes in various mountain streams and overcomes several rapids . The Lossie initially flows primarily in a north-easterly direction and then turns to the north. He passes the small town of Dallasand from this point follows a north-east or north direction again. The river reaches Elgin where the A96 trunk road crosses it. Shortly before its confluence with the Moray Firth at Lossiemouth , the Lossie takes on the Spynie Canal and Innes Canal .
Like most rivers in the region, the Lossie burst its banks in the flood events of 1829. Numerous bridges crossing the river were destroyed.
