Site Summary
Dynamic Coast Scotland’s National Coastal Change Assessment Dynamic Coast – Scotland’s National Coastal Change Assessment Site Summary Culbin (including Nairn) (Site 33) 0 Dynamic Coast Scotland’s National Coastal Change Assessment Disclaimer The evidence presented within the National Coastal Change Assessment (NCCA) must not be used for property level of scale investigations. Given the precision of the underlying data (including house location and roads etc.) the NCCA cannot be used to infer precise extents or timings of future erosion. The likelihood of erosion occurring is difficult to predict given the probabilistic nature of storm events and their impact. The average erosion rates used in NCCA contain very slow periods of limited change followed by large adjustments during storms. Together with other local uncertainties, not captured by the national level data used in NCCA, detailed local assessments are unreliable unless supported by supplementary detailed investigations. The NCCA has used broad patterns to infer indicative regional and national level assessments to inform policy and guide follow-up investigations. Use of these data beyond national or regional levels is not advised and the Scottish Government cannot be held responsible for misuse of the data. Culbin (including Nairn) (Site 33) Historic Change: The beaches and sand dunes at Culbin stretch between the mouth of the River Findhorn and Nairn, its inland dunes and beach ridges covering an area of 5,000 hectares. Whilst much of the dunes were stabilised after the First World War and now contain extensive pine plantations, the beaches are some of the most spectacular in Scotland and are our most dynamic beaches. -
The Findhorn, Nairn & Speyside Local Flood Risk Management Plan
Foreword The impacts of flooding experienced by individuals, communities and businesses can be devastating and long lasting. It is vital that we continue to reduce the risk of any such future events and improve Scotland’s ability to manage and recover from any events that occur. The publication of this Plan is an important milestone in implementing the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009 and improving our understanding of flood risk and how we will manage floods in the Findhorn, Nairn and Speyside Local Plan District. The Plan translates this legislation into actions to reduce the damage and distress caused by flooding over the first planning cycle from 2016 to 2022 and beyond. Within the Local Plan District (LPD), areas with the greatest risk of flooding have been identified and these have been designated as Potentially Vulnerable Areas (PVAs). The actions identified in the Plan are within these PVAs. The current PVAs were designated using the best information available at the time and additional PVAs may be identified when investigation work is done during the development of future plans. In summary, there are fourteen areas that have been identified as being potentially vulnerable to flood risk across the Findhorn, Nairn and Speyside LPD. Across the entire district there are a total of 1,800 residential and 580 non-residential properties at risk of flooding with estimated Annual Average Damages of £5.9 million. The Findhorn, Nairn and Speyside Local Flood Risk Management Plan published by The Moray Council has been developed in partnership and with the agreement of: The Highland Council, Scottish Water; SEPA; Forestry Commission Scotland; and Cairngorms National Park Authority. -
The 'Campbellites' and the New Age Movement Eryj Davies
The 'Campbellites' and The New Age Movement EryJ Davies The 'Campbellite' churches and the more Eastern-orientated New Age Movement are both developing in such a way as to be troubling some Christian churches in Britain and in the United States. This article is a response to those who have requested reliable information about these two radically different movements. The 'Campbellites' In Britain, concern was expressed soon after the founding in 1982 of the Central London Church of Christ which now calls itself just the London Church of Christ (LCC). There are other Churches of Christ in London but the LCC now claims over 800 members and it is in the process of establishing other branches in Britain. For example, the Central Birmingham Church of Christ was founded in 1988 and is growing apace. The LCC in turn was the product of a missionary initiative taken by the Boston, USA, Church of Christ; the latter being only 10 years old. Four areas of concern have surfaced in Britain recently concerning the LCC. First of all, the LCC has concentrated its work amongst students. The church has set up Bible Study groups in a number of colleges and halls of residence without identifying themselves clearly to the students. Some college chaplains and leaders of Christian Unions in the London area have been unhappy about the Bible Study groups but in some cases LCC members have also joined in the activities of CUs without revealing their motives and affiliation. Due to this intense activity within the student population, a high proportion of LCC members are or have been students. -

Findhorn Foundation has over 50,000 followers across the world on Facebook. New accommodation is needed ● To replace capacity being lost with the change of use of various bed and breakfast facilities ● Visiting friends and family as part of the expanding local community ● Overflow for conferences, events and festivals several times -
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. -
A Cordoned Urn Burial with Faience from 102 Findhorn, Moray
Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 131 (2001), 101–128 A Cordoned Urn burial with faience from 102 Findhorn, Moray Ian A G Shepherd* & Alexandra N Shepherd† with contributions by A McDonald, F Powell, J A Sheridan & P Wilthew ABSTRACT This paper describes the discovery of a large Cordoned Urn containing the cremated remains of an adult female (aged between 18 and 25 years) and an infant either in the third trimester of pregnancy or newborn. The urn also contained 22 mostly fragmentary segmented beads and one star-shaped bead, all of faience. The urn had been inverted in a pit in a sand ridge and an additional deposit of pyre debris placed over the upper fill of the pit. This deposit contained two faience beads, one star- shaped and incomplete, the other quoit-shaped, and a small chunk of grey flint. The urn is very similar to one found on the adjacent Culbin Sands in the 19th century and the beads can also be paralleled there. A radiocarbon determination of 3410±50 (OxA-7622, which calibrates to 1880–1520 cal ) has been obtained from charcoal from the pyre debris. This is the largest single find of faience in Britain and Ireland, and the only example of segmented, quoit and star-shaped beads being found together. INTRODUCTION The burial described in this paper was revealed as a result of site preparation for the building of an extension at no 102 Findhorn, a house in the small village of that name at the mouth of the River Findhorn in Moray (illus 1). The village occupies the sand ridge that forms the east side of the present estuary of the river. -
Findhorn Ecovillage Demonstration Site 1
Maria Cooper Duneland shareholder representing Findhorn community youth April 2019 Findhorn Ecovillage Demonstration Site A proposal for North Whins off grid site My vision is a site which serves as: a learning centre through demonstration of small-scale ecovillage technologies and solutions; an entrance point for young people to the community through volunteering/woofing; a safe environment for children and youth to immerse themselves in practical ecovillage life experience; and a space open for community members of all ages to engage with ecovillage ideas and concepts. It would be sponsored by the community, built with local volunteers and woofers, and for the benefit of the community. Physical design Building Small south facing dwelling built in locally available materials (timber frame, stone, cob), equipped with solar panels and PV, woodstove, rainwater tanks. Design: Large common space/kitchen to be used as a space for learning, produce preparation and preservation, and social hang out. Sleeping loft or similar for 2-3 people. Potentially one or two other tiny homes for more private accommodation. Compost toilets and constructed wetland for grey water Vegetable garden and Orchard Producing enough fruit and vegetables for 3-4 people throughout the year Animals Chickens/ducks Experiments with, and demonstration of, simple sustainable technologies e.g. off grid living, biochar, biogas, hot composting, permaculture, biodynamics, etc. Working with the landscape Small and slow solutions through low impact techniques would mean we stay in tune with natural rhythms and can collaborate with the natural features of the site. Social design Run by an onsite manager (myself), together with skilled volunteers/woofers As well as serving as a smallholding livelihood for the site manager, it would be an entrance point for young people who want to stay in the community short term and share/learn practical sustainability skills. -
WELCOME to ALVES & BURGHEAD L/W KINLOSS & FINDHORN
WELCOME TO ALVES & BURGHEAD l/w KINLOSS & FINDHORN FOUR CROSSES FROM ONE TREE The linkage was marked by the presentation of a Celtic Cross to each of the four former congregations. The crosses shown linked above were made by Dan Ralph, a joiner and accomplished carpenter from Burghead, from wood from a single tree. WHAT ARE OUR COMMUNITIES? In the East - Alves is a very small ‘ribbon village’ on the main arterial route from Inverness to Aberdeen (A96); the surrounding area is mainly agricultural. Burghead is a large village with an active harbour, with new residential development spreading eastward to Cummingston; RAF Lossiemouth (an active and expanding airbase) is nearby. In the West - Kinloss is a small village with an Army Base as its immediate neighbour, and a New-Age community (Findhorn Foundation) between it and Findhorn; all is surrounded by agriculture. Findhorn is a small coastal village, predominantly of retirees and holiday homes, with a strong sailing club and other water-based activities. In summary, the Charge has four differing communities, two congregations and is served by four church buildings. WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES? - The present demographic of both congregations is of a committed but ageing population - we need to attract the youthful element available from within the current communities – eg Army and RAF personnel, and their families. - We should be extending our mission to support the young children in the primary schools in Alves, Burghead and Kinloss. - The community within the Findhorn Foundation attracts people seeking meaning in their lives – we should offer ourselves as examples to help them toward finding a Christian path. -
