Andrew de Moray Project NEWS

Notice to members - keep your eye on our website: www.andrewdemoray.com

The AGM of the Andrew de Moray Project will take place in the Station Hotel, Avoch at 6.30pm on the 16th May 2009 after the march and flagraising ceremony. watch site for details.

An approach was made to Neil Oliver to speak at Avoch this year . His agent replied that he was too engaged in work to take part. We hoped he might expand on his views in Scotland’s History that merely touched on Moray’s name as he explained the Stirling Bridge Battle. Surely it would do the story much good if a wider audience saw Ormond Hill and the related sites...

Plans for this year’s commemoration will be published soon, both in print and on our web site. Thanks for assistance to Haley St Dennis in getting us back on track after a duff unworkable site was started and closed. So now we are back to andrewdemoray.com and hope this works for you all…

Interest in the local history group at Tarland near Culblean will see my new pamphlet The Battle of Culblean—St Andrews Day 1335 incorporated in their own local magazine to coincide with this year’s event at the cairn. The pamphlet is now available from my address. Price £2.00 plus post…

In May we hope to maintain the formula of mid afternoon march and ceremony meeting at 2.45pm at Avoch football pitch. Please put in you diaries. The evening kicks off with the AGM at 6.30pm and ceilidh to follow. Details soon to remind you…

I was glad to address the Nairn branch of the University of the Third Age U3A on 8th April. Some members from there hope to attend the Ormond Hill event this year...
