Personally I think the real star of these programmes, besides the wildlife themselves, are the camera operators and photographers. With great care and patience they set up their equipment in the most advantageous places to monitor and capture on film the beauty and the splendour of so many creatures, and to reveal, amongst other things, their vulnerability to predators. On the programme I was watching, the cameraman was commentating on how the young birds he was filming could fall out of their nests and in their vulnerability face the danger of becoming food for predators. The cameraman was asked if he thought they should intervene in such events, to protect and save such vulnerable creatures. His answer was that this was the law of nature and it must take its course. Human beings should not intervene. That may or may not be the law of nature, but it is certainly not the law of God the creator. In the Biblical account of the creation in the Book of Genesis, Chapter 1, it is clear that God created the creatures of the sea, the birds of the air, the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground and the wild animals. And God saw that it was good! Then God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27. To the people he created in his own image, God gave the command to fill the earth and subdue it. That means that as God’s representatives in the world of nature, we who bear his image are to be his stewards. We are not to exploit or destroy but to care for everything that God has made. Now, here is a thought! We are made in the image of God, so when we look into each other’s faces, hear the things people say and observe the things people do, what images of God do we see? Have a great summer and remember to care for God’s world!

KIRK NEWS Your Voice, Your Choice Earlier this year the Church and Society Council chose three areas to hold a Participatory Budgeting event. The areas were Dundee, Clackmannanshire and Moray. I was asked about holding an event in a rural area, and decided that if Rothes linked up with Knockando, Archiestown and Elchies Church we could open the event to groups from within the Speyside High School catchment area. Representatives from Dufftown and Aberlour were also invited to join our steering group. Applications were received from fifteen groups and we asked people to vote for seven of them. Seven groups received the full amount they applied for and money was left over, which was awarded to the eighth group. The successful groups were:- 1st Dufftown Beavers and Cubs Knockando, Archiestown & Elchies Church Speyside Drama Group Speyside High School—Breakfast Club A Very Moray Community Christmas Speyside Community Car Share Scheme Knockando Athletics Group Speyside Friendship Group It was nice to see the winning groups cover a wide variety of age groups and abilities, and we look forward to hearing and seeing how the money has benefited them. Sheila Brumby 50 YEARS OF THE STAMP APPEAL Thank you for all the Stamps handed into the Church, this year celebrates 50 years of the Stamp Appeal. Since 1969 church members across the country and beyond have donated tens of thousands of stamps to raise funds for different overseas causes annually. To mark 50 years of the appeal, church members are being asked to donate a stamp for every year that the campaign has run. The money that is raised in 2019 will support the Chigodi Women Centre in Blantyre, which is also celebrating 50 years of providing vitals skills and training to women in Malawi. The centre is delivering a broad range of skills training to address the challenges faced by women in Malawi. Through providing training in tailoring, fashion design and chicken farming, the Centre will improve the women’s skills in marketing and entrepreneurship. The aim is that the women’s socio-economic status is improved and their chances of future employment increase. By selling the produce made at the Centre the plan is that when the funding finishes the project will be self-sustainable – helping to continue to improve the lives of women in Malawi. You can be part of supporting the work of this project that is changing lives, simply by collecting your stamps. With £1000 raised in the first quarter of this year, this may well be the best year yet. In 2018 the stamp appeal contributed £2433 for day care centres run by the Reformed Church in Transcarpathia, Ukraine which provide support for children and young people with disabilities.

  • THE HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE of MORAY Ronald G
    THE HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE OF MORAY Ronald G. Cant In this paper the term 'historic architecture' has been taken, arbitrarily perhaps but conveniently, to cover the period from the early twelfth cen­ tury onwards when Moray came to be effectively absorbed into the medi­ eval Scottish kingdom, itself being integrated into a pattern of life developed in most parts of Europe in what has sometimes been called 'the medieval renaissance'. In terms of organisation this pattern involved four major elements. First was the authority of the King of Scots based on royal castles like those of Elgin and Forres under such officers as constables or sheriffs. Second, associated with certain castles, were settlements of merchants and crafts­ men that might (as at Elgin and Forres) develop into organised urban communities or burghs. Third, in the surrounding countryside, were the defensible dwellings of greater and lesser lords holding lands and authority directly or indirectly from the king and ultimately answerable to him. Fourth was the medieval church, an international organisation under the Pope but enjoying a certain autonomy in each of the countries in which it functioned and closely associated with these other elements at every level. Kings, Barons, and Burghers Each element in this 'medieval order' had its distinctive building require­ ments. For the king control of the previously strongly independent regional dominion of Moray stretching from west of the River Ness to east of the Spey was secured by the building of castles (with associated sheriffs) at Inverness, Nairn, Forres, and Elgin. Beyond the Spey was another at Banff but in civil affairs most of the area there had little direct association with Moray until comparatively recently, while in the west Inverness became the seat of a different and more extensive authority.

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.
