Join Moray in celebrating our region’s contribution to the world through Moray Connections – commemorating the lives of famous people from Moray; good, bad or fabricated; during the Homecoming Scotland year. There is something for everyone, whether you live in Moray or are just visiting. |
Find out more about your family history, or the history of your house, at a series of Family History Fairs across the region. Do you think Patrick Sellar was a villain, or just misguided? Decide for yourself after visiting the exhibition at Burghead Heritage Centre. Celebrate the life of William Marshall, fiddle composer from Fochabers, or Hugh Falconer who helped introduce tea growing to India. Follow in the footsteps of quines and loons from Elgin as they explored the world. Did you know that Scots went to live in Poland as economic migrants - in the 17th Century- and that Bonnie Prince Charlie had a Polish mother? Out of Darkness Theatre Company will be working with local schools to create five pieces celebrating the lives of famous Moravians, and a play is being commissioned about Shakespeare’s visit to Moray, which inspired the play ‘Macbeth’.
