One measuring 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" x 3", showing on one face a very small cup-mark 1/4" in diameter surround- ed by three concentric rings, narrowly cut, and what looks like part of a fourth at one edge. The second, imperfect, measures 6 1/2" x 4 3/4" x 2 1/2", showing the segment of a small cup-mark surrounded by three concentric circles.

Panel Notes This is a rectangular fragment of sandstone measuring about 0.2 x 0.2m and 7cm thick, with rounded edges except along the broken edge across the width of the panel. It was found in the 1930s on a beach at Cummingston or Colloch between Burghead and Hopeman in Morayshire, along with a second similar panel (Cummingston 2), which is recorded under the same Canmore ID. These two panels may have come from the same context, although the carving techniques differ. The panel has a cup, formed from a large peck mark, surrounded by one full ring and the truncated remains of two further rings, and an outer groove or part of a fourth ring. The grooves are narrow and irregular, and irregularly spaced. The nature of the carving and the context in which it was found mean that there is some doubt over whether it is prehistoric or more recent. C6.

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]

  • Burghead and Cummingston Community Council
    Burghead and Cummingston Community Council Minute of regular meeting held at Burghead Harbour Office on Thursday 7th March 2013 Present: Billy Davidson (Chair), John Gordon (Secretary), Hilary Gloyer, Les Taylor, Abbey Main, Jim Patterson Apologies: Molly Fraser, Jennifer Walker In Attendance: Joan Megson, Kelly Croudace, Constable Martin Dyer, Community Warden – Tim Betts, Councillors Chris Tuke and Eric McGillivray The Chair opened the meeting and welcomed all those present. The meeting agreed to suspend standing orders to allow presentations by those in attendance. Councillor Eric McGillivray took the floor and referred to the forthcoming library closures in Burghead and Hopeman. Hopeman, he said, had reluctantly accepted the decision to close their library and were to hold a public meeting to set up a committee to run their library themselves. Eric advised the meeting that, in his opinion, any protest marches against the closures were futile and would be a complete waste of time. He suggested, taking a lead from Hopeman to accept what was a fait accompli and to apply to take over the running of the library by volunteers. Eric suggested that a Community Asset Transfer request be made to Moray Council to enable the Burghead Community to advance the possibility of volunteer takeover and handed over leaflets which explained the procedure. The Chair thanked Eric for his advice and advised him that Burghead was not going to “roll over” and accept the closure of their library without a fight and was invited to stay in the meeting to hear the representations of the Save Burghead Library Action Group who were present at the meeting.

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.

  • Strategic Flood Risk Management
    1INTRODUCTION Moray Council is in the process of preparing the Moray Local Development Plan (MLDP) 2020. The MLDP has been informed and supported by the preparation of this Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA). 2AIMS AND OBJECTIVES This SFRA sets out strategic flood risk across Moray to support sustainable land allocation in the emerging MLDP by identifying areas of land that are most suitable for accommodating future development. The main objectives of this SFRA are to: x Provide a strategic outline on flooding issues to contribute to allocation of land; x Identify flood risk areas in line with Scottish Planning Policy (SPP) risk framework; x Provide an evidence base to inform the LDP; x Develop new policies on flood risk as necessary. 3 NATIONAL AND LOCAL POLICY FRAMEWORK Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 The Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 sets out a statutory framework for delivering a sustainable and risk­based approach to managing flooding. The Act also sets duties on SEPA and local authorities to exercise their flood related functions to reduce overall risk of flooding and promote sustainable flood risk management. The Act promotes a risk­based, plan­led approach to managing flood risk and requires SEPA, in partnership with responsible authorities to develop and implement flood risk management strategies and plans. The Local Flood Risk Management Plans set out how and when actions to reduce the impact of flooding in the Local Plan Districts identified in the Flood Risk Management Strategy will be delivered. The Strategy identifies where the risk of flooding and benefit of investment is greatest and the Plan says how and when prioritised actions will be delivered.

  • Local Development Plan 2020 PROPOSED PLAN VOLUME 1 Vision, Spatial Strategy, Housing, Infrastructure, and Employment Land Requirements, Policies and Parking Standards
    Moray Local Development Plan 2020 PROPOSED PLAN VOLUME 1 Vision, Spatial Strategy, Housing, Infrastructure, and Employment Land Requirements, Policies and Parking Standards foRewoRD Foreword I am delighted to introduce the Proposed Moray Local Development Plan 2020 which sets out the policies and land use proposals to guide development across Moray up to 2030 and beyond. The Plan sets out a vision for sustainable economic growth which has to be balanced carefully with Moray’s outstanding and diverse natural and cultural environment, that makes Moray such a fantastically special place to live, work and visit. The Plan includes three primary policies which support the Local Outcomes Improvement Plan, aiming to deliver sustainable economic growth, healthy places through good placemaking and longer term infrastructure planning with Community Planning partners. The Proposed Plan is supported by a Delivery/ Action Programme which sets out how the vision and aspirations will be delivered. This will require ongoing commitment from a range of public sector organisations working with community and voluntary groups and in partnership with the private sector. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people who have helped shape the Proposed Plan which represents the “settled view” of the Council . Cllr David Bremner Chair Planning and Regulatory Services Committee Moray Council Policies INTRoDuCTIoN How to respond to the Proposed Plan Responses should preferably be made electronically using the online response All comments received will be summarised and reported to a future meeting of form available at www.moray.gov.uk/proposedplan2019 but separate e-mail or the Council’s Planning and Regulatory Services Committee.
