Recently the TV series Game of 

Thrones ended after eight seasons. 

Although I have never seen the series, 

I understand it was shown in 207 

countries and very popular. I also read 

that a lot of time, effort and work was 

put into its production. I understand 

Game of Thrones was filmed in ten 

countries; it used 12,986 extras and 

two thousand crew members in 

Northern Ireland alone; it included 

three thousand pyrotechnic effects, 

fifty miles of fabric for costumes, and 

more than twenty-four thousand 

pounds of silicone for prosthetics; 

wigs for one of the lead characters 

required two months of testing and 

seven prototypes. The series received 

174 award nominations and won sixtythree 

times. 

If the production of a TV series like 

Games of Thrones strived for 

professional excellence, how much 

more does God deserve excellence 

from us? No one in Christian history 

was more passionately committed to 

personal excellence than the Apostle 

Paul. He encouraged excellence in 

our thoughts: “Whatever is true, 

whatever is honourable, whatever is 

just, whatever is pure, whatever is 

lovely, whatever is commendable, if 

there is any excellence, if there is 

anything worthy of praise, think about 

these things” (Philippians 4:8). He 

encouraged excellence in our words: 

“Let no corrupting talk come out of 

your mouths, but only such as is good 

for building up, as fits the occasion, 

that it may give grace to those who 

hear” (Ephesians 4:29). He 

encouraged excellence in our actions: 

“Pursue righteousness, godliness, 

faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness” 

(1 Timothy 6:11). What a difference it 

would make if we followed that advice 

in our homes, families and workplace! 

Do our lives set an example of 

personal excellence in what we do and 

say? Although we are human, we 

recognise that we all make mistakes. I 

know I do. However personal 

excellence isn't about being perfect or 

always being right. It is about 

recognising our need of God's love 

and help. 

In God's wisdom He created us with a 

free will. This means that God has 

given us the ability to choose and 

decide what we do and how we will 

live. While God is a Holy God, all 

knowing and all powerful He doesn't 

arrange our lives for us. God doesn't 

treat us as puppets by pulling the 

strings of our lives. The challenge then 

is that we can decide whether we want 

to seek personal excellence or just do 

our own thing. To seek personal 

excellence involves trust and 

dependence on God. As an old 

gospel hymn says: Trust and obey, 

For there’s no other way to be happy 

in Jesus But to trust and obey.” God, 

through the Holy Spirit can work in and 

through us when we recognise our 

need and seek Him through faith. The 

Christian message of Jesus' death and 

resurrection for us is good news as it 

brings forgiveness of sin, new life and 

hope. While we may not be nominated 

for an award, we can live a life of 

excellence when we have God at the 

centre of our lives, making our lives 

attractive as well as challenging.

I was pleased to host a round 

table event in the library at Elgin 

recently where I invited members 

of the various community councils 

from across Moray. This allowed 

us to come together and share 

concerns and topical issues both 

here in Moray and at Westminster. 

It was good to hear their views and I was delighted 

that we were able to discuss a number of issues 

around the table. I’ve received some positive 

feedback on this engagement and I’m hopeful this 

will become a more frequent event. 

Summer is here, I’m looking forward to being back 

in Moray for the recess and meeting up with 

constituents from across the area during my 

forthcoming surgery tour. People can come along 

without an appointment and raise any issues or 

concerns with me. Watch out for adverts in the 

local press with details of specific times and 

venues. 

Finally, by the time this article is published, the 

leadership election of the Conservative Party will be 

nearing a conclusion. I can guarantee that whoever 

is successful and becomes the next Prime Minister 

will be getting regular updates from me about the 

issues that are concerning people here in Moray. 

As always, I can be contacted on 

douglas.ross.mp@parliament.uk or on 01309 

679253 or at 63 High Street, Forres IV36 1PB. 

In recent months, we have seen a 

number of wildfires take hold in Moray 

and I have seen first-hand the 

blackened landscapes and the extent of 

the damage caused. 

I know that the increasing frequency of 

these fires locally is causing real 

concern in our rural communities, given the impact 

wildfires have on local landscapes, wildlife and 

habitats, as well as the potential threat they pose to 

infrastructure and homes. 

These recent fires were brought under control thanks 

to a monumental effort from local fire fighters, who 

worked alongside the police, gamekeepers, estate 

workers and other community volunteers, who rallied 

around to extinguish the fires under challenging 

conditions. 

I have had discussions with Police Scotland and the 

Fire and Rescue Service about the need to be better 

prepared for wildfires, given that we expect to have 

more long, dry spells of weather in the future.

(Part 4) 

Ringing and related matters 

I am licensed to catch and ring 

all birds but for specially 

protected birds such as golden 

eagles I apply for and am 

granted what we call a Schedule 

1 licence. The Schedule 1 

licence ensures that only 

individuals with the required 

skills and experience are 

allowed to disturb these breeding 

birds. My licence for 2019 

arrived yesterday. I feel it an 

honour and a privilege to be 

allowed to spend a short time 

in the eyrie and it never 

becomes a chore. 

I have ringed 140 golden 

eagles so far. Before I enter 

the nest I ensure that I can do 

so safely – that is for me and 

the nest and contents. If I have 

left it too late and the chick is 

very large I will withdraw to 

avoid causing premature 

fledging. If a tricky abseil is 

involved I like to have somebody 

with me. It is a long time 

since University of London 

Mountaineering Society trips 

to North Wales but I have been 

on two rope access courses in 

recent years so I think I know 

what I’m doing. I have the 

right equipment and, above all, 

an idea of what is doable and 

when to walk away. 

Special care needs to be taken 

at a ‘walk-in’ nest as there is 

usually a sharp drop below 

and the margin of error is 

narrow. Golden eagles don’t 

nest at such high altitudes as 

many would believe. Being 

early nesters sites at high 

levels would be dangerously 

exposed to wind and often 

above the snow line at a time 

when laying commences. 

If the chick is 4 to 5 weeks old 

there will be brown feathers 

replacing the white down. If 

the chick is still downy it will be 

too small to ring. The ring is 

an adult size, 26 mm diameter, 

and if the chick is small the 

ring would slip over the foot so 

cannot be ringed. If the chick 

is emaciated and unlikely to

survive I will not ring or 

disturb it. Unfortunately there 

is sometimes a dead chick in 

the nest – or nothing at all. If 

there are eggs left in July 

these will not be going to 

hatch. I can remove these 

and have them professionally 

examined for reasons for not 

hatching as well as shell 

thickness and presence of 

toxins picked up from the 

environment.

Live your Best Life… 

Welcome to the Fashion page, 

where I share my top clothing 

style tips with you all. 

With love and style. 

Amanda 

xx 

Stylist In Training... 

‘Athleisure is a trend in fashion in which clothing designed for workouts and other athletic activities is worn in other 

settings, such as at the workplace, at school, or at other casual or social occasions.’ wikipedia. 

I never thought I would EVER wear trainers unless inside 

a gym (and that dear readers can be somewhat a rare 

occasion) . If I couldn’t wear heels then flat ballet pumps 

all the way - they didn’t feel very exciting but at least I 

could walk. Then one day I discovered sneakers, and 

suddenly sportswear took on a new meaning. I have 

since been on a quest to see how many ways I can 

incorporate these comfy little gems into my wardrobe. 

Some call it ‘Sports Luxe’ some ‘Athleisure’ - either way 

they make me feel I can walk that extra mile. 

‘Athleisure’ (as described above) is an ever growing and 

evolving trend and allows you to bridge the gap 

between smart/casual. One of my favourite looks is to 

wear a blazer, slogan tee, skinnies and my silver sequin 

trainers. I’ve even been known to wear track pants to a 

very important audition but because my hair was done, 

the blazer was structured AND I had my accessories on I 

still felt smart, polished and together. Not to mention 

no throbbing feet! In the end this is the key to true style 

- to feel like you and know you can walk in a room with 

an easy confidence. 

My Top 5 Tips for Trainer Style... 

1. Pick a pair that suit your feet. 

2. Go for Sparkle or Glitter for weekend/lunch dates 

3. Leather styles are generally better to keep feet fresh 

(or wear trainer socks) 

4. Pick a colour that will work with all your wardrobe, 

or are neutral enough to tone in. 

5. Pair with everything! From dresses to skirts, 

suits to jumpsuits, rest assured you can so rock this... 

The most important rule is to stay true to who you are and have FUN!

you meet this lot. These ten tales of the 

world's most splendidly sinister 

teachers will have you running for the 

school gates. Dr Dread teaches 

science and is half man, half monster... Watch out for

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder 

By Holly Jackson 

The case is closed. Finito. Five years ago, 

schoolgirl Andie Bell was murdered by 

Sal Singh. The police know he did it. 

Everyone in town knows he did it. End 

of. But Pip Fitz-Amobi isn’t so sure. Now 

Pip has to do a school project. She’s a 

good girl, shooting for the top grade. 

And what’s her topic? It’s this: who killed Andie Bell? But as 

Pip starts to research her project, she starts to uncover deadly 

secrets. When Pip wants to accomplish a task, nothing usually 

stands in her way. But this time, getting top marks might 

be murder… 

Junior Fiction 

The Boy at the Back of the Class 

By Onjali Q Rauf 

This is the story about how one ordinary 

nine-year-old child and three classmates 

are full of empathy for Ahmet, a boy that 

comes to their school as a refugee from 

Syria (he is the boy at the back of the 

class). Through their sensitivity, curiosity, 

ingenuity, bravery and innocent niceness, 

they make a massive impact on Ahmet’s 

life, friends, class, school, community and 

wider world. There’s a lovely lack of 

stereotyping on gender and backstory for the narrator, 

which adds to the message of not judging people before 

you know them. 

Adult Fiction 

The House by the Loch 

By Kirsty Wark 

Scotland, 1950s 

Walter MacMillan is bewitched 

by the clever, glamorous Jean 

Thompson and can't believe his 

luck when she agrees to marry 

him. Neither can she, for Walter 

represents a steady and loving 

man who can perhaps quiet the 

demons inside her. Yet their 

home on remote Loch Doon soon becomes a 

prison for Jean and neither a young family, nor 

Walter's care, can seem to save her. Many years 

later, Walter is with his adult children and adored 

grandchildren on the shores of Loch Doon where 

the family has been holidaying for two generations. 

But the shadows of the past stretch over them and 

will turn all their lives upside down on one 

fateful weekend. 

Adult Fiction 

The Butterfly Room 

By Lucinda Riley 

Posy Montague is approaching

dark secrets does he have to 

hide?

Water, Wells and Wellness 

by Highland Historian 

The superstitions, beliefs and 

traditions of our communities 

are full of intrigue and 

mystery; as well as truths that 

may only become apparent 

once the stories have been 

understood. This 

phenomenal 

importance in the storytelling 

tradition is certainly not 

confined to the west. In north 

east communities, there is a 

noteworthy similarity in 

folkways. 

If we truly want to understand 

our culture, the stories are 

integral to our education. The 

writing of histories must not be 

ignorant of the significance of 

these traditions and what their 

belief systems are based on. 

There is far more truth in 

folklore than it ever appears 

upon the first hearing of a 

simple folk tale. 

The fact that this is so often 

closely linked with the sea, 

agriculture and the power of 

nature is not surprising. The 

most prominent pockets of 

what I.F. . Grant called “well 

worship” in her book Highland 

Folk Ways, appear to exist in 

areas which incoming 

Christian monks struggled to 

amend the peoples’ 

longer-held beliefs. The north 

east, like some pockets of the 

west, was not populated by 

Christian monks until later in 

the development of Scottish 

Christianity and so, older 

beliefs flourished and many 

still remain in some form. 

The coastal communities of 

the north east, the west coast 

and islands are bound 

together in this cultural 

development due to the 

so-called “superstitions” which 

emanated from living from the 

sea or from poor arable land. 

Christian monks eventually 

stopped trying to dissuade 

these older beliefs and healing 

pools named after saints 

began to emerge. Examples of 

this are St Fillan’s pool in the 

River Earn near Crieff f and St 

Maelrubha’s well on Skye and 

the water off f Eilean 

Maolruibhe in Loch Maree. 

This renaming in honour of 

Christian figures gave 

legitimacy to the water-beliefs 

already present. The use of 

these waters for curing mental 

illness by shock immersion is 

not entirely different ferent from the 

‘modern’ 

uses of cold water 

swimming today. 

The power of water in belief 

systems still exists to this day

with the carrying of coffins by 

the community over the first 

running water before being 

transported to the grave site. 

This tradition has been 

known in Portree in recent 

years and appears to exist in 

varying forms in other areas. 

This mixing of the nature 

traditions that predate 

Christianity and the formality 

of Christianity have created 

traditions which are almost 

entirely unique to the 

communities they developed 

in. 

Healing wells feature 

prominently across the 

Highland region. Particularly 

noteworthy are the clootie 

wells close to Inverness and 

the traditions of healing wells 

at Annat in T 

orridon and on 

the Isle of Skye. It is a 

common theme that the ill 

would drink three times from 

the well or spring and circle it 

three times “sunwise” 

(clockwise) for the healing to 

have permanence. In the 

T 

orridon example, some 

folklorists maintain that this 

included for many hundreds 

of years, the drinking of the 

spring water from a human 

skull! This tradition has been 

recorded several times, most 

recently by an author who 

claims to have witnessed it in 

recent years. 

In the North East, healing 

wells were certainly revered 

and respected in a similar 

way 

. In 1842, a well at Oxhill 

in Rathven was being used 

regularly for its healing 

properties. This well, 

however, was not the 

community’s preference as 

their belief in another well in 

the parish had outlived the 

well itself. When the older 

well was filled in by a farm 

tenant, mothers from Buckie 

brought their children and, 

finding the well gone, 

scooped a pool with their 

hands in the earth. Once full 

of water, the children bathed 

in the pool before being 

carried home, asleep, on 

their mothers’ 

backs. In 1890, 

healing wells were still in use 

at Strathdon and Corgarff 

where offerings ferings were still 

being found.

Community Based 

Nature Projects 

NAIRN RIVER INVASIVE SPECIES PROJECT 

The banks, woodland and open 

spaces along the River Nairn are 

an integral part of our town, a 

natural asset that t adds to locals’ 

quality of life. Riverside Park, 

near the Jubilee Bridge is a 

well-used but sometimes 

overlooked space that connects 

residential areas to the town 

centre. 

Green Hive and many other 

community groups want to see 

a flourishing riverside 

environment that provides a 

saf 

e space to play and explore 

nature, for all ages. 

And now, users of Riverside Park 

are coming together to draw 

attention to this forgotten spot. 

Community groups such as 

Green Hive, Nairn PLA 

Y and the 

Forres and Nairn Welfare League 

are joining forces with Nairn’s 

Community Planning 

Partnership to develop their 

interest est in enhancing the 

Riverside. 

The Nairn and Nairnshire 

Community Planning 

Partnership (NNCPP) brings the 

police, NHS, education, local 

council and voluntary groups 

together to enhance and 

develop our community’s health 

and wellbeing. The NNCPP’s 

Places and Spaces subgroup is 

currently focused on Riverside 

Park, and will later turn to 

Tradespark. 

“We seek to make our open 

spaces accessible and useable, 

and are bringing groups 

together to develop this space 

for the good of the community”. 

Cllr T 

om Heggie, Place and 

Spaces Group Chair. 

As custodians of the Riverside 

football pitch and changing 

rooms, Forres and Nairn Welfare 

League portion part of their 

income to maintaining these 

important t facilities. In the future 

they plan to extend the 

changing room area at either 

side, giving room to store 

equipment that will facilitate 

maintenance e of the football 

park. 

“We are celebrating our 20th 

anniversary this year and we are 

committed to the area long 

term. In the past, we have 

teamed up with other local 

sports clubs to provide support 

for the pitch and we very much 

welcome other partnerships to 

further that t and any 

redevelopment of the 

surrounding area.” 

John Rowley,

Family Day at 

Riverside Park on 

Saturday 20th July 

from 12pm 

Nairnshire Colourful, the 

Welfare League and skatepark 

users. I'm delighted that Nairn 

PLA 

Y was invited to work as a 

member of Places and Spaces”. 

Kat Woods, Nairn PLA 

Y vice chair 

Young people that use the skate 

park are also joining efforts to 

improve the area. 

"I think it's a great idea for 

skaters and members of the 

Nairn community to come 

together and express the 

interests we have in the 

riverside area … the many of us 

who use the skatepark f 

or its 

intended purposes feel that it is 

overlooked. So this would be a 

great opportunity to show that 

there is a community based 

around the skatepark … and 

convince organisations, groups 

and the public that t Nairn 

skatepark k and the surrounding 

area is somewhere for 

improvement. ” 

Dayne Inglis 

Green Hive’s Nairn River Invasive 

Species Project is working to 

reduce e species such as Giant 

Hogweed from our riverbanks, 

creating a more biodiverse and 

healthy riverside. As part of this 

project we are planning a Family 

Day at Riverside Park, inviting 

members of the public to help 

clear Himalayan an Balsam plants 

from the woodland area along 

the riverside. The other Places 

and Spaces members are keen 

to join in, making this a 

collective e family event. 

The event, on Saturday 20th 

July from 12pm, will be a day 

of family activities for our 

community to enjoy our 

riverside environment. Green 

Hive will have opportunities to 

learn about and remove 

invasive species, while our 

Countryside Ranger 

, the Welfare 

Football League, the SISI 

project, Fire Scotland and others 

will lead nature trails, sports, 

bushcraf 

t and other activities. 

Attendees will be encouraged 

to give thoughts and hopes for 

the park’s development, so 

come along and share your 

ideas. 

“This will be an open-ended 

process and other groups that 

regularly use this park are 

invited to make themselves 

known”

(kelp). Also, Isle Of Harris Gin stands with its head held high against the pickling liquor. It’s great to try something different 

in the gin world and Isle of Harris are doing that. While everyone is doing heavy juniper London Dry styles, they are 

keeping to their heritage of the island. This is shown in that t lovely maritime smell, with hints of pine needles and dried 

oranges. Looking forward to seeing what you release next."
