  • 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.

  • Here Is the Brief for Thursday 13 May 2021. Moray Update Additional Mobile Testing Units Are to Be Deployed in Lossiemouth, Keit
    can Here is the brief for Thursday 13 May 2021. Moray update Additional mobile testing units are to be deployed in Lossiemouth, Keith, and Aberlour as part of ongoing efforts to bring case numbers in Moray under control. There are currently no plans to progress to door-to-door testing anywhere in the area. Public Health believe we may now be seeing the outbreak in Elgin starting to plateau. Despite this, the figures in Moray are still well ahead of the rest of the country. We are starting to see signs of outbreaks in other communities outside of Elgin, including in Keith, Lossiemouth and Aberlour, hence why mobile testing will be deployed there. The number of tests undertaken in Moray has risen by 400% and there has been strong public support of the accelerated COVID-19 vaccination programme in the area. COVID-19 vaccination – community outreach As part of the accelerated roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccination programme in Moray, a community clinic took place today at Hythehill Primary School in Lossiemouth. The team will also be running a clinic at Keith Primary School tomorrow. This is in addition to extended opening hours at the Fiona Elcock Vaccination Centre in Elgin. Community clinics are also scheduled for Aberdeen City next week, at Tillydrone Hub (19/5), Gerrard St Baptist Church (20/5), and Seaton Community Church (21/5). Booking information for these clinics is going out directly in a targeted leaflet drop; these clinics are for anyone aged 40 and over who have not yet had their first dose of vaccine.

  • Hopeman, Moray
    Hopeman, Moray Area profile One of Moray’s seaside villages, Hopeman, originally called Newtown of Hopeman”, was established in 1805 to house and re-employ people displaced during the Highland Clearances. Founded by William Young of Inverurie as a fishing port, the village expanded to export stone from nearby quarries after the building of a new harbour in 1838. By 1850 some 70 fishing boats operated from the harbour and by 1890 there were 120. With the demise of local fishing, today the harbour is now a marina housing mainly pleasure boats. © Crown Copyright 2016 Corporate Policy Unit The Moray Council August 2016 1 /38 Table of Contents 1 Population Structure ..................................................................................... 4 1.1 Age profile ............................................................................................................. 4 1.2 Marital Status ........................................................................................................ 6 2 Identity ............................................................................................................ 7 2.1 Ethnicity ................................................................................................................ 7 2.2 Country of Birth ..................................................................................................... 8 2.3 Religion ................................................................................................................. 9 2.4 Length of residency for residents born

  • Man in Moray
    10 0 I w! Fig.2.1 Moray. MANIN MORAY 5,000 years of history Ian Keillar Synopsis The extent of Moray is defined and the physical conditions briefly described. Traces of Mesolithic man have been found in the Culbin, and later Neolithic peoples found Moray an attractive place to settle. As metal working became established, trades routes followed and Moray flourished. As the climate deteriorated, so, apparently, did the political situation and defensive sites became necessary. The Romans came and went and the Picts rose and fell. The Vikings did not linger on these shores and MacBeth never met any witches near Forres. The Kings of Scots divided and ruled until they themselves set a pattern, which still continues, that if you want to get on you must go south to London. In distant Moray, brave men like Montrose and foolish men like Prince Charles Edward, fought for their rightful king. The Stuarts, however, ill rewarded their followers. Road makers and bridge builders half tamed the rivers, and the railways com­ pleted the process. With wars came boom years for the farmers, but even feather beds wear out and Moray is once more in apparent decline. However, all declines are relative and the old adage still has relevance: 'Speak wee] o the Hielans but live in the Laich.' Physical The name Moray is now applied to a local authority administrative District extending from west of Forres and the Findhorn to Cullen and stretching down in an irregular triangle into the highlands of the Cairngorms (Fig.2. l ). In Medieval times, Moray reached as far as Lochalsh on the west coast and there has always been some difficulty in defining the bound­ aries of the province.

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.
