The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative. Spey Bay (name centred NJ 37 67) forms an ill-defined embayment which extends over portions of several map sheets. The settlement of Spey Bay is at NJ 354 652.
Speymouth is not noted as such on the 1996 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map. The River Spey enters the Moray Firth (Spey Bay) at NJ 343 655.
