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 ElginCitySouthCPT@scotland.pnn.police.uk

  • Ronnie's Cabs
    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.

  • 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.
