—MORAY. PROVINCE OF289,292 barrels were brought into Moray Firth ports,the smaller proportion being explained bj' the number<strong>of</strong> boats that leave the district to fish at other stations.Of 3,666,596 cod, ling, and hake caught in 1882—<strong>of</strong>which, however, 2,039,174 are from Shetland alone262,303 were brought into ports along this coast.The description and limits already given applies to thefirth in its widest extent, but the name is sometimesmore particularly confined to that portion which lies tothe SW <strong>of</strong> a line drawn from Tarbetness in Ross-shireto Stotfield Head near Lossiemouth in Elginshire. Thisinner portion <strong>of</strong> the firth measures 21 miles along theline just mentioned, and 89 miles in a straight linethence to the mouth <strong>of</strong> the Beauly river. It consists<strong>of</strong> three portions, the outer running up as far as theprojecting points <strong>of</strong> Chanonry (Ross) and Ardersier(Inverness), and forming a triangle 21 miles across themouth, 23 in a straight line along the Ross-shireside, and 32 in a straight line along the Inverness-shire,Nairnshire, and Elginshire side. The points just mentionedproject about IJ mile beyond the generalline <strong>of</strong> the coast on each side and overlap one another,but so as to leave a passage at right angles to the mainline <strong>of</strong> the firth and f mile wide. This strait givesadmission to the much shallower portion known as theInner Moray Firth or Firth <strong>of</strong> Inverness, extendingfrom Fort George 8 miles south-westward to the mouth<strong>of</strong> the Ness, with an average breadth <strong>of</strong> from 2J to 3miles, with Munloehy Bay running oif on the NW sideand Petty Bay on the SE side. Immediately to the W<strong>of</strong> the mouth <strong>of</strong> the Ness the waters <strong>of</strong> the firth arenarrowed by the projecting point at Kessock to 650yards, but they broaden out again into the BeaulyFirth, which extends westward for 64 miles, with abreadth <strong>of</strong> from IJ to 2 miles. This portion <strong>of</strong> thefirth is very shallow, and nearly the half <strong>of</strong> its wholearea is laid bare at low water. The fishing in the Invernessand Beauly basins is very poor except as regardsthe capture <strong>of</strong> garvies or sprats, which are found therein immense numbers, about 10,000 crans being sent tothe south markets every year. The three portions <strong>of</strong>the firth just described correspond to the ^stuariwmVararis <strong>of</strong> the ancient geographers.The coast-line along the firth varies considerably.From Duncansbay Head to Helmsdale, on both sides <strong>of</strong>the Cromarty Firth, between Burghead and Lossiemouth,between Buckie and Banff, and along a considerableportion <strong>of</strong> the Aberdeenshire coast, it is rocky,but elsewhere low. It is well cultivated, and the reachesto the W <strong>of</strong> Fort George are finely wooded.Moray, Province <strong>of</strong>, an extensive district lying to theS <strong>of</strong> the inner portion <strong>of</strong> the firth just described. It isalmost co-extensive with one <strong>of</strong> the seven provinces intowhich, during the Celtic period, we find the whole <strong>of</strong>modern <strong>Scotland</strong> divided. The northern boundary wasthe Moray Firth and the river Beault as far as KiL-MOEACK ; from this point the line passed to the S alongthe watershed between Glen Farrar and the streamsflowing to Loch Ness. After rounding the upper end <strong>of</strong>Glen Clunie it turned eastward along the watershedbetween Glen Loyne and Glen Garry, and between theriver Garry and the streams flowing to the river Oich ;then SE by the lower end <strong>of</strong> Loch Lochy, as far as theSW end <strong>of</strong> Loch Laggan, aud on to Beinn Chumbann,whence it followed the line between the modern counties<strong>of</strong> Inveeness and Perth, by Loch Ericht, the AtholeSow, and Carn-na-Caim, to Cairn Ealar. From that hillit followed the boundary <strong>of</strong> Inveeness-shike and Banffshire,along the Cairngorms, and down the Water <strong>of</strong>Ailnack. Here, however, it left the county boundariesand followed this stream to the Aven above Tomintoul,and then followed the course <strong>of</strong> the Aven to the Spey,and the latter river back to the Moray Firth. Theprovince thus included within its limit the whole <strong>of</strong> thecounties <strong>of</strong> Elgin and Nairn, the greater part <strong>of</strong> themainland division <strong>of</strong> the county <strong>of</strong> Inverness, and aportion <strong>of</strong> the county <strong>of</strong> Banfil'. In later times thesignification has sometimes been considered as ratherco-extensive with the sway <strong>of</strong> the Bishop <strong>of</strong> Moray, and62MORAY, PROVINCE OFso with the jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> the modern synod, but thismust hold true as applying more to ecclesiasticalauthority than to territorial limits. At one time theprovince must have stretched across the island from seato sea, for, in one <strong>of</strong> the statutes <strong>of</strong> William the Lyon,Ergadia, i.e., Arregaithel, or the whole district W <strong>of</strong>the watershed between the German Ocean and theAtlantic Ocean, and extending from Loch Broom on theN to Cantyre on the S, is divided into ' Ergadia, whichbelongs to Scotia, ' and Ergadia which ' belongs toMoravia. ' This part afterwards fell into the hands <strong>of</strong>the Earls <strong>of</strong> Ross. The Highland line, marking thedivision between the Highlands and the Lowlands,passed across the province in a general north-westerlydirection from the junction <strong>of</strong> the Aven and Spey to themouth <strong>of</strong> the river Nairn ; the part to the NE <strong>of</strong> thisline being peopled with Lowlanders, who suffered continuallyfrom thepeculiar ideas entertained by their Highlandneighbours regarding meum and tuum. Peopledby an alien race, whose introduction will be noticedafterwards, greatly more peaceable, and less acquaintedwith the use <strong>of</strong> arms than the inhabitants <strong>of</strong> the Highlanddistricts, the rich and fertile plain <strong>of</strong> Moray wasregarded by the Highland Caterans as open and everavailable spoilage ground, where every marauder might,at his convenience, seek his prey. So late in fact as thetime <strong>of</strong> Charles I., the Highlanders continually madeforays on the country, and seem to have encounteredmarvellously little resistance. In 1645 we find Cameron<strong>of</strong> Lochiel apologising to the laird <strong>of</strong> Grant for havingcarried <strong>of</strong>f cattle from the tenant <strong>of</strong> Moyness, and givingthe reasons that he 'knew not that Moyness was aneGraunt, but thocht that he was ane Moray man,' andthat the spoilers did not intend to hurt the laird <strong>of</strong>Grant's friends but to take booty from 'Morray landquhare all men take their prey.' The Moray people, ithas been remarked, appear to have resembled the quietsaturnine Dutch settlers <strong>of</strong> North America who, whenplundered by the Pied Indians, were too fat either toresist or to pursue, and considered only how they mightrepair their losses ; and the Celts, looking on the Lowlandersas strangers and intruders, thought them quitefair game, and could never comprehend how there couldbe any crime in robbing a Moray man. ' ' So late as1565, as appears from the rental <strong>of</strong> the church-lands inthat year, the inhabitants <strong>of</strong> the ' laich ' remainedentirely a distinct people from the Highlanders, and allbore names <strong>of</strong> purely lowland origin. Nearly all theinterest <strong>of</strong> Moray as a province, and <strong>of</strong>ten all theassociations <strong>of</strong> the name are connected with its lowlandsin the N. These have long been famed for mildnessanddryness <strong>of</strong> climate, though the rivers that windthrough them, having their sources among mountainshigh enough to arrest the moisture brought in from theAtlantic by the south-west winds, are sometimes liableto sudden freshets. The great floods <strong>of</strong> 1829, so admirablyrecorded in Sir Thomas Dick Lauder's The MoraijFloods, form an extreme example. Probably no part <strong>of</strong><strong>Scotland</strong>, not even East Lothian, can compete withMoray in regard to the number <strong>of</strong> spontaneous testimonieswhich have been borne to the richness <strong>of</strong> itssoil. An old and common saying asserts that Morayhas, according to some versions, 15, according to others,40 days more <strong>of</strong> summer than most other parts <strong>of</strong> <strong>Scotland</strong>.Holinshed (practically an Anglicised form <strong>of</strong>Bellenden's translation <strong>of</strong> Boece's Chronicle) says, ' InMurrey land also is not onelie great plentie <strong>of</strong> wheat,barlie, otes, and suchlike graine, besides nuts andapples, but likewise <strong>of</strong> all kinds <strong>of</strong> fish, and especially<strong>of</strong> salmon.' George Buchanan extols the province assuperior to any other district in the kingdom in themildness <strong>of</strong> its climate and the richness <strong>of</strong> its pastures.'So abundant, ' he says, ' is this district in corn andpasturage, and so much beautified as well as enrichedby fruit trees, that it may truly be pronounced thefirst county in <strong>Scotland</strong>.' Whitelock, in Cromwell'stime, says, 'Ashfield's I'egiment was marched intoMurray-land, which is the most fruitful country in<strong>Scotland</strong>.' William Lithgow (1583-1645), after glancing
—MOEAT, PROVINCE OFMORAY, PROVINCE OFat Clydcstlale and tlio Carse <strong>of</strong> Gowric, says, The ' thirdmost beautiful soil is the delectable plain <strong>of</strong> Moray,whose comely gardens, enriched with comes, plantings,pasturage, stately dwellings, overfaced with a generousOctavian gentry, and toped with a noble Earl, its chiefpatron, may be called a second Lombardy, or pleasantmeadow <strong>of</strong> the north.' Sir Robert Gordon <strong>of</strong> Straloch,describing the province in 1640, says, ' In salubrity <strong>of</strong>climate, Moray is not inferior to any, and in richness andfertility <strong>of</strong> soil it much exceeds our other northern provinces.The air is so temperate, that when all aroundis bound up in the rigour <strong>of</strong> winter, there are neitherlasting snows nor such frosts as damage fruits or trees.Thereis no product <strong>of</strong> this kingdom which does not thrivethere perfectly, or, if any fail, it is to be attributed to thesloth <strong>of</strong> the inhabitants, not to the fault <strong>of</strong> the soil orclimate. Corn, the earth pours forth in wonderful andnever-failing abundance. Fruits <strong>of</strong> all sorts, herbs,flowers, pulse are in the greatest plenty, and all early.While harvest has scarcely begun in surrounding districts,there all is ripe and cut down, and carried intoopen barnyards, as is the custom <strong>of</strong> the country ;and,in comparison with other districts, winter is hardly felt.The earth is almost always open, the sea navigable, andthe roads never stopped. So much <strong>of</strong> the soO is occupiedby crops <strong>of</strong> corn, however, that pasture is scarce ; forthis whole district is devoted to corn and tillage. Butpasture is found at no great distance, and is abundantin the upland country, and a few miles inland ; andthither the oxen are sent to graze in summer when thelabour <strong>of</strong> the season is over. Nowhere is there bettermeat nor cheaper corn, not from scarcity <strong>of</strong> money butfrom the abundance <strong>of</strong> the soil.' Notwithstanding,however, this fertility, years <strong>of</strong> comparative scarcitywere by no means infrequent. During the summer <strong>of</strong>1743, 'the dear year,' so memorable all over <strong>Scotland</strong>,thousands <strong>of</strong> the people <strong>of</strong> Moray wandered among thefields devouring sorrel, the leaves and stems <strong>of</strong> unfilledpulse, and whatever could mitigate the pangs <strong>of</strong> hunger,while many died <strong>of</strong> actual starvation or diseases broughton by want <strong>of</strong> food. Even so late as 1782, the notedyear <strong>of</strong> the 'frosty har'st,' or harvest, the provincesufiered severely from famine. When the era <strong>of</strong> agriculturalimprovement set in, and many districts, becomingaware <strong>of</strong> their poverty, made a sudden and strenuousmovement towards wealth, Moray was content to live onits fame, and so soon lost its pre-eminence, which it has,however, since regained, as may be seen from the notices<strong>of</strong> the agricultural condition <strong>of</strong> the counties <strong>of</strong> Elgin,Nairn, and Inverness. Some portions were long renderedbarren by a curious layer known as Moray Coast ' ' or'Pan.' This was a thin stratum <strong>of</strong> sand and gravelwhich, by the infiltration <strong>of</strong> black oxide <strong>of</strong> iron, hadbecome a hard compact mass, capable <strong>of</strong> damagingploughs when brought into contact with it. It at thesame time occurs at the distance <strong>of</strong> about a foot fromthe surface, and <strong>of</strong>fers unconquerable resistance to theattempts <strong>of</strong> trees or shrubs to penetrate it with theirroots. The only method <strong>of</strong> dealing with it is to lay itbare, break it up with a pickaxe, and expose the fragmentsto the slow influence <strong>of</strong> the weather. Thephysical characteristics and present condition <strong>of</strong> theprovince are discussed in the articles on the counties <strong>of</strong>Inverness, Elgin, Nairn, and Banff, and it remains hereto notice historical details connected rather with thedistrict as a whole than with the individual countiesinto which it has been broken up.At the beginning <strong>of</strong> the Christian era we find theeastern part <strong>of</strong> Moray inliabited by the Vacomagi, tothe W <strong>of</strong> whom were the Caledonii with, according toPtolemy, a town called Banatia, on the E side <strong>of</strong> theriver Ness ; another called Ptoroton, on the promontorywhere Burghead now stands ; and a third calledTuessis, on the bank <strong>of</strong> the Spey : and subsequently wefind the district included in Northern Pictavia, <strong>of</strong>which the capital was situated somewhere near Inverness.The Pictish nation seems to have been formedby a union <strong>of</strong> various Celtic tribes or ticatlis whichunited to form mortuaths or confederations, and thesemortuaths again to form a larger confederation embracingthe whole realm. The mortuaths were governed byMormaers, and seem to have corresponded to the districtsthat afterwards became the provinces governed bythe original great territorial Earls <strong>of</strong> <strong>Scotland</strong>. Thatthe country N <strong>of</strong> the Firths <strong>of</strong> Forth and Clyde was,during the Celtic period <strong>of</strong> its history, divided intoseven provinces is certain, and there are, in the olderrecords, accounts <strong>of</strong> them by name. One dating fromthe 12th century teUs us that the region formerly knownas Alban, was divided by seven brothers into seven'parts. The principal part was Engus and Moerne, socalledfrom Engus, the eldest <strong>of</strong> the brothers. Thesecond part was Adtheodhle and Gouerin. The thirdStrathdeern and Meneted. The fourth Fif and Fothreve.The fifth Mar and Buchen. The sixth Muref and Ros.The seventh Cathanesia Cismontane and Ultramontane.'The seven brothers were the seven kings <strong>of</strong> these districts,and are regarded by Dr Skene as the Eponymi <strong>of</strong>the people <strong>of</strong> the seven provinces. The tuaths themselvesseem to have corresponded with the smallerdivisions that appear as thanages, and so we may identifythe localities <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> them by the thanedoms <strong>of</strong> Dyke,Brodie, Moyness, and Cawdor, along the shore <strong>of</strong> theMoray Firth between the river Nairn and the Burn <strong>of</strong>Lethen ; the great district <strong>of</strong> Moravia proper betweenthe Lethen and the Lossie ; and along the Lossie fartherE was Kilmalemnock, the greater part <strong>of</strong> which nowforms the parish <strong>of</strong> St Andrews-Lhanbryd and Essy.Cromdale and Rothiemurchus seem also to have beenthanedoms. The Mormaers were also styled Ri orKing, and one, termed the Ardri, always held a loosesway over all. The succession was tanistic, that is,hereditary in a family but elective as to the person, thesenior male capable <strong>of</strong> ruling being chosen in preferenceto the direct descendant ; and it seems even to havebeen regulated by that particular form where thesupreme power passed alternately from one to the other<strong>of</strong> two branches <strong>of</strong> a family. It will be seen from whathas been said already, that at this early date Morayand Ross were united and formed but one province.The oldest form <strong>of</strong> the name seems Moreb or Muireb,and Morovia and Moravia also occur.In the latter jiart <strong>of</strong> the 9th century Harald Harfagerhaving swept the northern seas <strong>of</strong> the Vikings, made<strong>of</strong>fer <strong>of</strong> the Jarldom <strong>of</strong> Orkney to one <strong>of</strong> his most notedwarriors Rognvald, who, however, preferring to returnto Norway, obtained Harald's consent to making overthe dignity and dominion to his brother Sigurd. Thoughthe tenure <strong>of</strong> the Jarldom was conditional on his suppression<strong>of</strong> Viking plundering, this ruler seems to havehad somewhat elastic notions as to how far this wasbinding in the case <strong>of</strong> raids made on other countriesthan Norway, and consequently we find him invading<strong>Scotland</strong>, and making himself master <strong>of</strong> a considerableportion <strong>of</strong> the North. According to one account, heheld ' all Caithness and much more <strong>of</strong> <strong>Scotland</strong>Maerhaefui (Moray) and Ross— and he built a burgon the southern border <strong>of</strong> Maerhaefui.' He did not,however, long enjoy his conquests, for, as has beennoticed in the article Forres, he died <strong>of</strong> a wound inflictedby the tooth <strong>of</strong> the dead Mormaer Jlelhrigda orMalbride, whose head he was carrying fastened to hissaddle. On Sigurd's death the Jarldom reverted to thedescendants <strong>of</strong> Rognvald, and they were, for long, somuch occupied with family feuds that probably theywere unable to bestow much thought or attention on aturbulent province, and so, during the greater part <strong>of</strong>the loth century, Moray must have been more or lessfree from the Norse dominion and under the independentrule <strong>of</strong> its native Mormaers. According to the Landnamabok,Thorstein conquered the whole <strong>of</strong> the north,and forced more than half <strong>of</strong> <strong>Scotland</strong> to acknowledgehim as king, but his conquest, if ever firm, must havebeen <strong>of</strong> but short duration. The people <strong>of</strong> Moray were,however, only relieved from attack on the N to haveto meet it from the S. The kings <strong>of</strong> Alban had begunto dream <strong>of</strong> a united <strong>Scotland</strong> under one ruler, and inthe beginning <strong>of</strong> the 10th century Donald II. was slaiii:
