About Morayshire

Moray, or the anglified Morayshire or Elginshire (Mhoireibh in Gaelic) was a county of Scotland, bordering the former Nairnshire to the west, Inverness-shire to the south, and Banffshire to the east. The county town was Elgin.

There were two large detached portions of the County of Moray situated locally in Inverness-shire, and a corresponding part of Inverness-shire situated locally in Morayshire. With the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889 these parts were merged into the county in which they locally lay. The county shown was initially officially called the anglified Elginshire.

Morayshire is also that name of a registration county for property, and a slightly smaller area is a Lieutenancy Area named Moray. This area consists almost exactly of the rump of the traditional county, without its exclaves in Inverness-shire.


Lossiemouth Harbour - Morayshire

Lossiemouth Harbour - Morayshire

Lossiemouth (known by locals as 'Lossie') is a burgh in Moray, Scotland. It lies on the south coast of the Moray Firth, at the mouth of the River Lossie. Originally a port linked to Elgin, the town is now popular for its beaches[1] and golf courses, and has a small museum based on the fishing industry. Lossiemouth Harbour (East basin) Lossiemouth is twinned with Hersbruck in Bavaria (Germany). It was also home to St. Gerardine who, legend has it, warned passing ships off the rocks with a lantern. One of the local primary schools and one of the town's churches carry his name. The town was the birthplace of Ramsay MacDonald, Britain's first Labour Party prime minister. MacDonald was born in 1866 in a small cottage near the railway line. In later life he lived in the 'Hillocks' - a house he built in Lossie.

 

 

Elgin Cathedral - Morayshire

Elgin Cathedral - Morayshire

At first the seat was simply transferred to an existing church, 'the Church of the Holy Trinity beside Elgin'. In its original form Elgin Cathedral was a simple cruciform building, but after it was damaged by fire in 1270 the choir was doubled in length with aisles added on each side and a Chapter House opening off the north aisle. In 1390 Alexander Stewart, the illegitimate son of the king, more familiarly known as the Wolf of Badenoch, plundered and burned both Forres and Elgin, including the Cathedral, which sustained so much damage that the western gable, the arcades of the nave, the central tower and the Chapter House had to be rebuilt. There was also widespread slaughter in both places.
