SOLD BY THE AGENTS FOR THE COURANT; AND BY ALL BOOKSELLERS. : ELGIN PRINTED AT THE COURANT OFFICE, PREFACE, Thu ''Morayshire Directory" is issued in the hope that it will be found satisfactorily comprehensive and reliably accurate, The greatest possible care has been taken in verifying every particular contained in it ; but, where names and details are so numerous, absolute accuracy is almost impossible. A few changes have taken place since the first sheets were printed, but, so far as is known, they are unimportant, It is believed the Directory now issued may be fully depended upon as a Book of Reference, and a Guide for the County of Moray and the Upper District of Banffshire, Giving names and information for each town arid parish so fully, which has never before been attempted in a Directory for any County in the JTorth of Scotland, has enlarged the present work to a size far beyond anticipation, and has involved much expense, labour, and loss of time. It is hoped, however, that the completeness and accuracy of the Book, on which its value depends, will explain and atone for a little delay in its appearance. It has become so large that it could not be sold at the figure first mentioned without loss of money to a large extent, The price has therefore been fixed at Two and Sixpence, in order, if possible, to cover outlays, Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/blacksmorayshire1863dire INDEX.

THE COUNTY OF MORAY. The ancient Province of Moray extended along the north-eastern shore of the Moray Firth, from the mouth of the river Spey to the river Beauty, and,, included within its boundaries the whole course of the Spey even to Lochaber. The breadth of the Province, according to Shaw, from the Firth at Inverness to the Braes of Glenfeshie in north-east Badenoch, was fifty-seven miles ; and from south-west to the length was one hundred and four miles, and the sea-shore of Moray from the mouth of the Spey to the river Farar, or Beauty, was sixty miles. This large Province, famous in the history of Scotland, was cut up into counties or shires. A part of Banffshire and of Inverness- shire, and the whole county of Nairn, was taken from it, thus leaving Morayshire only a part of the great Province that gave titles to powerful barons and ecclesiastics. Morayshire, like all other Scottish counties, is of a very irregular form—so much so, indeed, that one portion of the county is entirely detached from the rest by a part of Inverness-shire, that cuts through Moray in Strathspey, a little above Ballindalloch. A traveller in going up Strathspey, after passing the mouth of the river Avon a short way, finds that he is into Inverness-shire, but, near Grantown, he is again in Moray, which extends along the Spey to Aviemore. The Spey forms a boundary line of Morayshire only at intervals, for por- tions of the county would almost seem to have been thrown down at random on both sides of the river. A large tract of country, of a tri- angular form, with the Spey at Fochabers as a base, and reaching nearly to Keith, belongs to Morayshire, and, as the saying goes, one- half of Gordon Castle is in Banffshire and the other in Moray. Farther up the Spey, in Inveravon, we may see again several farms belonging to Moray on the right bank of the river. A straight line, from angle to angle, along the north side of the county, measures twenty-four and a-half miles, but everywhere cuts off a belt of seaboard, which, in general, is narrow, but a little west of the Lossie has a breadth of four and a-half miles ; a straight line along the south-east side measures twenty-five and a-half miles, and, except for cutting off a projection beyond the Spey of six miles by five, everywhere falls on or near the boundary ; and a straight line along the south-west side measures twenty-four and a-half miles, but over seven miles falls slightly beyond the boundary, and over eleven falls slenderly within it. The smaller division of the county, as already mentioned, is separated from the larger by the intervention of a detached district of Inverness-shire, and by two very small detached districts of Nairnshire ; and lies to the south-west at the distance of from three and a-half to five miles. Except for a connecting neck of less than a mile, upon the Spey, a little below the Church of Abernethy, this division would consist of two detached parts. Its western part lies on the left bank of the Spey, is bounded by that stream for seven miles, and measures twelve miles from north to south, and nine in the opposite direction ; and its eastern part forms the largest of the county's sections on the right bank of the Spey, and extends nine miles north- west and south-east, with a breadth of from four to six and a-half miles. The superficial contents of the county are, in all authorities, so very variously and loosely stated, that they seem never to have been even proximately ascertained. Leslie's "View of the Agriculture of Nairn and Moray" assigns, as the area of these counties conjoined, about 800 square miles, or 512,000 English acres ; the author of "The Beauties of Scotland" assigns 800 square miles to Morayshire alone ; and Oliver and Boyd's Almanac says that the area of Morayshire is 840 square miles, or 537,600 acres.

It is due to the Public to state that, in order to procure informa- tion for the " City " portion of this Directory, from Five to Six Thousand Schedules were issued, for the purpose of being filled up by the Inhabitants. In transcribing these Schedules, the utmost care was taken to preserve the exact address and orthography of Name which had been given; and, still farther to preserve the accuracy of the Work, the ' whole of the Names, after they had been put into type, were again, at a large sacrifice of time, care- fully compared, one by one, with the original Schedules. The " County " Directory, which forms an important part of the Work, has been made up from returns furnished, in almost every instance, by the Schoolmasters of the respective Parishes. To the Gentlemen who have thus so kindly assisted him, the Publisher gladly embraces the present opportunity of returning his most grateful thanks. The short delay which has occurred in getting the Work issued, has been as much a disappointment to the Publisher as it can have been to his Subscribers. To those of them, however, who may have been incommoded by the delay, he begs to offer a respectful apology, and to assure them that, from the complicated and laborious nature of the Work, (this Directory being an entirely new compilation), the delay was found to be quite un- avoidable.

Each video is under an hour in length and is designed to introduce the play to students in high school and college. The teacher’s guide that comes with each video gives – among other things – a brief analysis of the play, topics for discussion or essays, and a short list of recom- mended reading. Production Notes At the beginning and end of this blood- soaked tragic play Macbeth fights bravely: loyal to his King and true to himself. (It takes nothing away from his valour that in the final battle King and self are one.) But in between the first battle and the last Macbeth betrays and destroys King, country, and whatever is good in his own nature.

    Community Safety Partnership Report Issue 2022 September 2018 Community Safety Community Safety is about protecting people’s rights to live in confidence without fear for their own or other people’s safety ensuring that people are safe from crime, disorder and danger and free from injury and harm and communities are socially cohesive and tolerant; are resilient and able to support individuals to take responsibility for their wellbeing The Community Safety Partnership aims to improve community safety across Moray by identifying and addressing immediate concerns in order to protect the most vulnerable and at risk and be proactive to ensure that communities feel safe. The CSP comprises of various Moray Council services, Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, NHS Grampian, tsiMORAY and Registered Social Landlords. WATER SAFETY With the continuing warm weather it is always tempting to go swimming to cool off. Water may look safe, but it can be dangerous. Learn to spot and keep away from dangers. You may swim well in a warm indoor pool, but that does not mean that you will be able to swim in cold water. The dangers of water include: • it is very cold • there may be hidden currents • it can be difficult to get out (steep slimy banks) • it can be deep • there may be hidden rubbish, e.g. shopping trolleys, broken glass • there are no lifeguards • it is difficult to estimate depth • it may be polluted and may make you ill Moray Local Command Area - Community Policing Inspectors Elgin Wards - Inspector Graeme Allan [email protected]

A. MACPHERSON ARMS GRANTED FOR ALEXANDER MACPHERSON (1905-85), MESSENGER-AT-ARMS From a bookplate by Mrs. Patricia Bertram. (See p. 94, n.12) Suspended below the shield, by a twisted silk cord in the royal livery colours, is the messenger's badge of arms, or blazon. The motto's verb, deforce, is peculiarly associated with messengers-at-arms; the baton in the crest, held in the dexter paw of the cat, represents the messenger's wand of peace. Probably the cat of the crests of Badenoch Macphersons and the Mackintosh captains of Clanchattan alludes to the name of their forbear, Gillichattan Mor, "servant of St. Cattan". The lymphad or galley points to the West: the tribe is first recorded in Lochaber, where the Lords of the Isles held sway. This is the only Macpherson shield to bear a thistle - a charge in the arms of Lyon King of Arms, but here particularly recalling the rough carving on the stone at Alexander Macpherson's ancestral grave, beside the door to Kincardine church in Strathspey. It was at this place, on 19th November 1664, that the principal men of the Sliochd Ghilliosa of Clanpherson (see p.6) banded with other "Gentlemen of the name of Clanchattan" in assisting Mackintosh, "our Chieffe".

    Reference code: GB228 AC9/8/1 Title Papers relating to Robertson's Map of Aberdeenshire, Banffshire and Kincardineshire Dates 1790 - 1836 1874 1938 Level of description Fonds Extent and medium 2 boxes Name of creator The Map Committee of the Commissioners of Supply and Gentlemen of Aberdeen County Administrative history Interest in the mapping of Aberdeen and Banff counties may have commenced around 1790, with a proposal by James Stobie for publishing a map of Aberdeenshire and Banffshire by subscription. In 1801, at a meeting of the Edinburgh Aberdeenshire Club, Sir William Forbes expressed a need for a survey and map of Aberdeen and Banff to assist in the development of improvements such as roads and bridges in the counties. This idea was given unanimous support and a committee was set up to bring the proposal under the consideration of the county gentlemen (AC9/8/1/5). On 11 October 1806 printed proposals for publishing a map by subscription from a survey by John Ainslie were sent to potential subscribers (AC9/8/1/14). This attempt appears to have been unsuccessful and on 10 August 1809 James Robertson, land surveyor, wrote to Sir William Forbes informing him that he would soon be completing the fieldwork for his survey and map of Northumberland and would be available to survey and map Aberdeenshire and Banffshire, as requested by Sir William Forbes three years earlier on seeing Robertson's topographical survey and map of Jamaica (AC9/8/1/15). Sir William Forbes duly informed the Commissioners of Supply of Aberdeenshire who decided to investigate this proposal further as Alexander Sutherland, land surveyor, whom they had employed to undertake the task had left the country (AC9/8/1/16).

    transport guide FOREWORD The Moray Forum is a constituted voluntary organisation that was established to provide a direct link between the Area Forums and the Moray Community Planning Partnership. The Forum is made up of two representatives of each of the Area Forums and meets on a regular basis. Further information about The Moray Forum is available on: www.yourmoray.org.uk Area Forums are recognised by the Moray Community Planning Partnership as an important means of engaging local people in the Community Planning process. In rural areas - such as Moray - transport is a major consideration, so in September 2011 the Moray Forum held its first transport seminar to look at the issues and concerns that affect our local communities in respect of access to transport. Two actions that came from that event was the establishment of a Passenger Forum and a Transport Providers Network. This work was taken forward by the Moray Forum Transport Working Group made up of representatives of the Area Forums, Moray Council, NHS Grampian, tsiMORAY, and community transport schemes. In September 2013 the Working Group repeated the seminar to see how much progress had been made on the actions and issues identified in 2011. As a direct result of the work of the Group this Directory has been produced in order to address an on-going concern that has been expressed of the lack of information on what transport is available in Moray, the criteria for accessing certain transport services, and where to go for further advice. The Moray Forum Transport Working Group would like to acknowledge the help of all the people who provided information for this Directory, and thereby made a contribution towards the integration of public, private and community transport services within Moray.

    ©2019 scotch whisky association DISCOVER THE WORLD OF SCOTCH WHISKY Many countries produce whisky, but Scotch Whisky can only be made in Scotland and by definition must be distilled and matured in Scotland for a minimum of 3 years. Scotch Whisky has been made for more than 500 years and uses just a few natural raw materials - water, cereals and yeast. Scotland is home to over 130 malt and grain distilleries, making it the greatest MAP OF concentration of whisky producers in the world. Many of the Scotch Whisky distilleries featured on this map bottle some of their production for sale as Single Malt (i.e. the product of one distillery) or Single Grain Whisky. HIGHLAND MALT The Highland region is geographically the largest Scotch Whisky SCOTCH producing region. The rugged landscape, changeable climate and, in The majority of Scotch Whisky is consumed as Blended Scotch Whisky.
