The Rothes Tenants Association is now registered with the Moray Council. The certificate of registration was presented to the Group at their recent meeting, by Cllr. George McIntyre, Vice-chair of the Community Services Committee. The newly registered area forum group has a recog- nised role within the council tenant participation pro- cess. The move also places a legal requirement on the local authority to consult with the association on all housing policies and procedures before their adoption. Established in August, 2002, the Rothes association has nine members who work closely with the council in addressing local housing related issues. In the past they have been instrumental in getting a series of maintenance programmes done within Rothes, ie new kitchens, peep-holes in doors, replacement doors, new fencing and others.

    12 MASON HAUGH RISE BURGHEAD, ELGIN, MORAY 12 MASON HAUGH RISE, BURGHEAD, ELGIN, MORAY A stunning contemporary property, completed to the highest specification with spectacular sea views. Burghead 0.8 miles ■ Lossiemouth 8 miles Elgin 8 miles ■ Inverness Airport 29 mile ■ 2 reception rooms. 4 bedrooms ■ Flexible accommodation ■ Panoramic sea views ■ Many fine features ■ Well maintained garden and driveway parking ■ Integral garage Elgin 01343 546362 [email protected] SITUATION 12 Mason Haugh Rise, is an exceptional detached seafront villa, enjoying breath-taking panoramic views over the Moray Firth and which is located on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Burghead. The county of Moray is famous for its mild climate, has a beautiful and varied countryside with a coastline of rich agricultural land, prosperous fishing villages and wide, open beaches. The 8 mile long sandy beach between Burghead and Findhorn is perhaps one of the finest in Scotland. The upland areas to the south are sparsely populated and provide dramatic scenery, some of which forms part of the Cairngorm National Park. This unspoilt landscape provides a wide range of leisure and sporting opportunities including fishing on the world famous Spey and Findhorn rivers, skiing at The Lecht and Cairngorm range (about 1 hour’s drive), sailing and walking. There are many highly regarded golf courses nearby including The Moray Golf Club in Lossiemouth (about 8 miles) with it’s classic Links Course designed by Tom Morris in 1889 and the West Course as designed by Henry Cotton in 1979, Elgin Golf Club and also the two championship links golf courses in Nairn (about 20 miles).

    THE MONUMENTAL EFFIGIES OF SCOTLAND. 329 VI. THE MONUMENTAL EFFIGIES OF SCOTLAND, FROM THE THIRTEENTH TO THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. BY ROBERT BRYDALL, F.S.A. SOOT. The custom of carving monumental effigies in full relief does not seem to have come into vogue in Scotland till the thirteenth century—this being also the case in England. From the beginning of that period the art of the sculptor had made great progress both in Britain and on the Continent. At the close of the twelfth century, artists were beginning to depart from the servile imitation of the work of earlier carvers, to think more for themselves, and to direct their attention to nature ; more ease began to appear in rendering the human figure; form was more gracefully expressed, and drapery was treated with much greater freedom. When the fourteenth century drew towards its end, design in sculpture began to lose something of the purity of its style, more attention being given to detail than to general effect; and at the dawn of the sixteenth century, the sculptor, in Scotland, began to degenerate into a mere carver. The incised slab was the earliest form of the sculptured effigy, a treat- ment of the figure in flat relief intervening. The incised slabs, as well as those in flat relief, which were usually formed as coffin-lids, did not, however, entirely disappear on the introduction of the figure in full relief, examples of both being at Dundrennan Abbey and Aberdalgie, as well as elsewhere. An interesting example of the incised slab was discovered at Creich in Fife in 1839, while digging a grave in the old church; on this slab two figures under tabernacle-work are incised, with two shields bearing the Barclay and Douglas arms : hollows have been sunk for the faces and hands, which were probably of a different material; and the well cut inscription identifies the figures as those of David Barclay, who died in 1400, and his wife Helena Douglas, who died in 1421.

My own research on the Carment and Inglis families’ histories represents one such journey that began about half a century ago. As a boy in Sydney, I was curious about my mainly Scottish ancestry and asked my parents and other relations about it. Although I was Australian-born and never travelled outside Australia until I was an adult, Scottish associations and influences were prominent during my childhood. My Carment and Inglis grandmothers were born in Scotland, while my Carment grandfather received his university education and worked there. Scotland was often mentioned in family conversations.

  • NAMES in the LANDSCAPE of the MORAY FIRTH W F H Nicolaisen
    NAMES IN THE LANDSCAPE OF THE MORAY FIRTH W F H Nicolaisen At the very outset, I would like to draw your attention to the exact wording of the title of this presentation - 'Names in the Landscape of the Moray Firth' - for it has been chosen with more than usual care. Titles anticipate and make promises; they summarise and raise expectations; they some­ times tease and woo us. Above all, however, they open gates to paths of intellectual exploration at the end of which the mind should be comfortably satisfied. It is for all these reasons, but especially the last, that titles should be as accurate and as directional as signposts, for the sake both of those who shape them and of those for whose guidance they are intended. Otherwise their paths and ours will diverge from the very beginning. Now that I have made you, the reader, disturbingly title conscious, you are entitled to know the reasons for this unusual preface. Why all this wordiness? Mainly to highlight the three major terms contained in the title - names, landscape, and Moray Firth - because these not only carry the greatest semantic freight but also represent the three key concepts of this discussion. They orient with regard to subject matter, setting and location or, put more simply, to the what, how and where. Let us briefly consider these points in reverse order. It seems self-evident that, in a review of the place names of Moray, somehow the notion of Moray has to be one of its major shaping com­ ponents but the question is: Which of the several possible Morays is it to be, since
