001 ; 002 |
A Gulf in the extreme north-east of Scotland; a sea rather than a bay or an estuary; the largest projection, and at the same time one of the most regular, which the ocean makes into the Scottish coasts. Loosely defined, but with reference chiefly to its interior waters, it is the Estuarium Varanis of Ancient Geographers. Its limits, as assigned by the modern hydrography of the country, are somewhat various, and not very distinctly understood; but, on the whole they distribute into two easily ascertained parts, an exterior and an interior. The exterior frith comprehends all the open sea south-west of a line between Duncansby-head in Caithness-shire and Kinnaird's head in Aberdeenshire, onward to the entrance of the inner frith between Tarbetness in Ross-shire and Burgh-head in Morayshire. It blends with the German Ocean on the north-east, and along the artificial line of connection with it, measures nearly 80 miles; it has the counties of Caithness, Ross, and Cromarty on the west and measures on that side about 70 miles, and it has Morayshire, Banffshire, and Aberdeenshire on the south, and measures along that coast about 57 miles. Except at an opening on its west side, immediately north of Tarbetness, where it sends off the Dornoch frith, and at a smaller opening on the same side, 8 miles south of Duncansby head, where it expands into Keiss or Sinclair's Bay, it has a singularly uniform coast-line, sufficiently diversified with gentle curvature which frees from monotony, but uncut by deep incisions, and everywhere marked with only tiny bays and small headlands. The principal rivers which enter it on the west are the Wick,the Berridale, the Helmsdale, the Brora; and in the south are the Findhorn, the Lossie, the Spey and the Doveran. All the coasts of the frith from Wick round to Kinnaird's head are rich, and have become industriously plied in their fisheries; and, in particular, they yeild immense quantities of herrings, though aggregately of an inferior quality to those on the west coast of Scotland. The interior Moray firth, where it opens from the exterior between Tarbetness and Burgh-head, is about 16 miles wide. It thence projects south-westwards to Ardersier or (over) |

Moray Firth continued
or Fort George, 24 miles along the coast of Ross and Cromarty, and 22 along that of Moray, Nairn, and Inverness. Fifteen miles southwest of Tarbetness, between the north and south Sutors of Cromarty, which rise like the sides of a huge gateway to admit its ingress it projects the Cromarty frith between Ross and Cromarty. From its entrance to Ardersier, it gradually contracts, till, over a distance of 2 miles, it is only from 1 to 1½ mile broad. After passing Ardersier, it suddenly expands, and thence to Kessock Ferry at the mouth of the river Ness a distance of 9 miles, it has a mean breadth of about 3 miles; but there it suffers rapid though brief contraction to about half a mile, and, by a caprice in topographical nomenclature, loses its name, and is declared to terminate. A continuation of it 7 miles westward , by an extreme breadth of 2 miles, is called the frith or loch Beauly: See Beauly Loch. The interior Moray frith, excepts its outer skirts, presents quite a contrast to the exterior frith as to at once the wealth, the abundance, and the variety of its fisheries; and though possessing along its coasts some regular communities of fishermen, affords them such small employment, that they generally resort to the fishing- grounds north of Tarbetness.

This old ruin in situate near to the farm steading of Inshoch. It was at some remote period evidently a place of importance. Nothing now however remains of it, except the walls; which are still standing but in a very dilapidated state, nothing can be ascertained as to the date of its erection. It is the property of Brodie Esq. of Brodie. The old statistical account says, About a mile North of the Church, lies the old Castle of Inshoch, the family residence of the Hays of Loch Loy, now called Lochlee, who once possessed a considerable proportion of the lands in this parish. Within the ruins of Elgin Cathedral there is a stone sarcophagus with a recumbent knight in full armour |

Previous to 1843 there was £100 left by a Miss Dunbar for the use of this school the interest of which is spent in teaching sewing and needle work to the children of the parish. At the time of the disruption there was a Mr. Barsly Parish Minister he joined the Free Church and took the funds etc with him to the Free and so from that time the funds etc and building remained in the hands of the Free Church whose school it is.

This is a conical hill sloping regularly from top to bottom a little concave on the top. It stands about 20 feet higher than the surrounding ground or small hill on which it stands, about 67 yards in diameter, the whole structure is evidently artificial, there is a Dovecot on it from which object it takes its present name the property of Sir James Dunbar Bart. [Baronet]
There is only one man now living in the parish that retains a tradition of this object Mr Thomas Fraser. He says that when he was a boy it was usually called Castlehill by his Father and other old persons at the time, and that he heard them say that it was a place where felons etc were tried by a court of justice, and that where the Dovecot now stands there were stone steps down to dark vaults or dungeon below and that when any persons were found guilty they were passed down into this place to bide their term of punishment" |

Sir
I had to make some inquiries before replying to your letter. As there is not much space in the column you have left I think it better to write on another paper. I was formerly puzzeled to say how the name you want should be spelled. But of all the spelling you have given I think the preference should be given to the spelling, "Dove-cot Hill" as the most eligible one. By sinking in the spelling the scottish sounds of "oo" and "ou" every one here will understand it, & elsewhere most people will understand that Dovecot Hill is simply Pigeon cot Hill.
From enquiries I have made at the man who discovered the stone coffin - it might have been some 20 or 30 years ago. There was nothing seemingly in it but an earthen jar with something like white dust or sand in it - the jar broke as soon as it was lifted out. I mentioned to some

of the Survey when here that I had seen at Clune in this parish some years ago 3 stone (slab) coffins disinterred from under a large cairn of stones. But I dont know if any enquiries had been made about them.
I learned today that the Dooket Hill had up to recent time been called Castle Hill and that it appears from a book entitled Memoirs of Montrose, that the Lords of Session held court in full wigs on the said Castle Hill, now called the Dooket Hill since a pigeon house was erected on it. I have not seen said memoirs but have been told that Mr Malcolm Solicitor Nairn had the book in possession. I mention these things in case it should be worthwhile to enquire about them.

Connected with the east end of it and on the same range is a very old looking Ruin the walls of it are as high as those of the Church, but when or by whom or for what purpose it was built there is not one in the Parish can tell. not even a surmise can be got whether it was a church or not. |

This hill is densely wooded and is situated in the parishes of Nairn and Auldearn, but principally in the former, and borders on the parish of Ardclach. Property of George Mackintosh Esq. Geddes House, and Mr Brodie of Lethen. Some doubt seems to exist as to what this name applies; that is, whether it comprehends the whole of the wooded range, or only the portion north of the point called The Ord. The authorities quoted herein think that the names or places are independent of each other and consequently this has been adopted. |

This name applies to a natural hollow on the top of a rise east of the Village of Auldearn, where it is said the marquis of Montrose and a part of his army lay the night before the battle of Auldearn 9th May 1645. It is conjectured that the hollow would be much larger and deeper at that time than now, at that time it was covered with whins and heather, since it has been reclaimed and levelled for the plough. The place has been pointed out by the only one in the Village who knows anything at all about it Viz Mr. Thomas Fraser. The property of John Gordon Esqr. Cluny |

"The only place in the parish that derives its name from an historical event is a farm called Knocknagillan, or the young men's hillock. Here the Cummings of Rait put to death 12 out of 13 young men of the clan MacKintosh, whom they apprehended while passing through the Parish"
Copied from New Statistical Account. The farmsteading is said to have been built on or near the hillock where this conflict took place - hence the name. |

This name is applied to a small cultivated knoll, in a field, a short distance to the east of Easter Clune farm house. It is supposed that a Catholic Chapel stood here at one time, but the site cannot be identified. A carved stone was dug up a few years ago, when some men were trenching the ground, which was taken by Dr Griggor to the Nairn Museum no authentic information could be obtained with reference to there having been a Catholic Chapel here, this hill is on the Lethen estate. |

This name applied to what was formerly two concentric circles of stones. Of the outer circle only one is now standing a large stone about eight feet high and three broad. There was another which about fifteen or twenty years ago was taken down and broken for building purposes by a neighbouring farmer, the remainder of the stones that are supposed to have formed the outer circle are lying around broken and in confusion among large stones that have been taken from the adjoining field. The inner circle consists of a number of heavy boulders about eighteen inches in diameter and touching each other so as to form a kind of fence, they are not imbedded in the ground but are merely on the surface, this circle is in good condition, except where a portion has been cut off by the making of a road past it, and a small gap in the N.West side. About fifteen years ago a trench was dug through the middle of this circle and an urn found, the former contents of the urn could not be ascertained as they had been destroyed by exposure through being near the surface. The circles are situated a little to the South of Moyness, near the junction of four roads. |

Two large and prominent hills composed wholly of sand situated at the north east point of this parish, and which are said to be shifting eastwardly. They are said to have been formed by sand blown from the beaches of the Ports of Burghead and Findhorn which entirely buried the village of Maviston that once stood near this spot and from which these sandhills derive their name. They are on the property of William Brodie Esq of Brodie for which William Sclanders Esq. is factor who recommends the name now adopted to be written to those sandhills in the parish of Auldearn and Dyke and Moy. A small portion of one of them is in the latter parish. |

This name is applied to a long narrow stripe of land, lying between the mouths of the rivers Findhorn and Nairn, and parallel to the mainland, but separated from it at high water. It is raised about ten feet above the high water level, and is composed chiefly of sand, thinly covered with bent grass. It extends from the river Findhorn in a westerly direction for about four miles and is parly in the county of Elgin & partly in the county of Nairn. The new Statistical Account for this parish gives the following account of it, "there are two objects worthy of notice, the one is an island or peninsula of sand, separated from the land at highwater, and called by the people in the vicinity the Bar. It is remarkable for shifting its place to the westward. Opposite to it are two sandhills, about 100 feet in perpendicular height, and gradually moving to the eastward by the action of the wind, yet retaining their form. The Bar is moved in the contrary direction by the action of the tide. It is difficult to form any theory regarding either the formation or locomotion of these objects; but the facts, as stated, are certain." It is now used as a salmon fishing station. It is on the estate of Brodie of Brodie. |
