Sir Robert Moray (1608-1673) was one of the most active of the twelve founding members of the Royal Society, and as a close friend of King Charles, was a key figure in obtaining the royal patronage that was crucial to its status and growth. Whilst not an active or original researcher, Moray's role as enthusiastic and widely read participant in, and inspirer of, the Society's activities, place him at the centre of the seventeenth-century British scientific scene. As well as being an active member of the Royal Society, Moray was a prolific letter writer, sending a steady stream of news and correspondence to his friend Alexander Bruce, Earl of Kincardine, whose ill-health often kept him away fr...
When the Author moved upto Moray 10 years ago he had little idea about the place and has since explored it in various ways from the whiskeys, the salmon in the charasmatic rivers to the rock and sandy coast line, from the low fertile plains to the rugged mountains of the Cairngorms, by foot and bike. Plus its colourful and intriguing history from the picts, Romans, Vikings, tales of smuggling, and folk lore. The route illustrated in this book ""The Moray way"", a circular walk of over 90 miles which takes you through all of morays historical and wonderous scenery. The second route is the ""Ben Macdui Trail"". Starting at Burghead, it is a 66 mile hike from sea to clouds on roads and rough tracks taking in the old towns of Elgin and Tomintoul until reaching the Cairngorms. Both routes come with maps and descriptions, advise as to where bikes can be used, and details of whats underfoot every step of the way.
The Moray Way consists of all or part of three previously existing routes: the Moray Coast Trail, the Speyside Way and the Dava Way. Together they cover a huge and varied range of landscapes.This book is the ideal guide to much of what this beautiful and richly historical part of Scotland has to offer. The largest town, Forres, is an ancient royal burgh. Between it and the next biggest town of Lossiemouth lie the coastal villages of Findhorn, Burghead and Hopeman, connected by some of Scotland's finest coastal scenery and beaches. Eastwards, beyond intact remains of second world war defences, lie Garmouth and Fochabers, the former, many centuries ago, the main port of Moray Here the Moray Way turns south, following a course through the fertile Spey valley. Its many distilleries are part of the considerable variety of interest as the route continues to the resort town of Grantown. A final stage northward crosses the wild openness of Dava Moor, reaching eventually the spectacular Divie viaduct where there is a dramatic change to gentler woodlands and pastoral landscapes as the trail leads back to Forres.
