One of the seven ancient Celtic Earldoms
of Scotland, Moray stretches from
the cliffs, harbours and beaches of
the Moray Firth to the Arctic tundra
of the high Cairngorms. With its fine
soil and dry climate the Laich of
Moray became the "Garden and
Granary of Scotland".
It
was a gem fought over by the
Picts, the Romans, the Vikings
and the Scottish Clans. The
Men of Moray formed the backbone
of the armies of William Wallace
and Robert the Bruce which finally
won Scotland's Freedom. The
people of Moray developed that
sturdy independence of spirit
which characterises them to
this day. |

Blessed with pure water
from its highland rivers
and streams and an abundance
of golden barley it was
perhaps inevitable that
Moray would become The
major whisky producing
area of Scotland, home
to such names as Glenlivet,
Glenfiddich, the Macallan
and Chivas Regal. To go
with the dram are the
soups and game of Baxters
of Speyside, Moray Seafood
and Walkers shortbread.
Textiles still features
in Moray with the high
quality cashmere products
from Johnstons of Elgin.
