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.

  • Introduction the Place-Names in This Book Were Collected As Part of The
    Introduction The place-names in this book were collected as part of the Arts and Humanities Research Board-funded (AHRB) ‘Norse-Gaelic Frontier Project, which ran from autumn 2000 to summer 2001, the full details of which will be published as Crawford and Taylor (forthcoming). Its main aim was to explore the toponymy of the drainage basin of the River Beauly, especially Strathglass,1 with a view to establishing the nature and extent of Norse place-name survival along what had been a Norse-Gaelic frontier in the 11th century. While names of Norse origin formed the ultimate focus of the Project, much wider place-name collection and analysis had to be undertaken, since it is impossible to study one stratum of the toponymy of an area without studying the totality. The following list of approximately 500 names, mostly with full analysis and early forms, many of which were collected from unpublished documents, has been printed out from the Scottish Place-Name Database, for more details of which see Appendix below. It makes no claims to being comprehensive, but it is hoped that it will serve as the basis for a more complete place-name survey of an area which has hitherto received little serious attention from place-name scholars. Parishes The parishes covered are those of Kilmorack KLO, Kiltarlity & Convinth KCV, and Kirkhill KIH (approximately 240, 185 and 80 names respectively), all in the pre-1975 county of Inverness-shire. The boundaries of Kilmorack parish, in the medieval diocese of Ross, first referred to in the medieval record as Altyre, have changed relatively little over the centuries.

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.

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".

PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work.

Minutes of Previous Meeting The minutes of the meeting held 5th December were retrospectively agreed by Suzanne Mayle and seconded by Dougie Gibson. Office Bearers: Iain Reid has received a letter of resignation from the Community Council from Ivan McConachie, effective immediately. JD advises that a Chair will need to be selected from the ELECTED Members prior to the upcoming AGM. The make-up of the Community Council now has 3 vacancies, however there are 3 residents willing to get involved - Carl Stewart, Ewan Grant and Rosemary Shreeve. The Community Council will take steps to approach these people and co-opt them prior to the AGM. Matters arising/ongoing items 1. Police Issues - the regular monthly report had been submitted by NC via email. It does not breakdown statistics for the parish as such but seems to include them within the Grantown-on-Spey figures. IR has emailed Inspector MacLeod to see if Cromdale & Advie can be presented with statistics for the parish separately. 2. Bank Account – SM advised via email that the balance of the accounts currently stood at £3807.07 and that the new signatory regime has been put in place.
