MORAY (County Council, District Council and Area Council)

Incorporated : Moray County 1975 into Grampian Region. Moray District Council founded 1975, incorporated into 1996 Moray Area Council.
Additions to Moray District Council : 1975 Burghs of Aberlour, Buckie, Cullen, Dufftown, Findochty, Forres, Keith, Portnockie; districts of Buckie, Cullen, Dufftown, Keith


Motto : Sub Spe (In Hope)

Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted to the County Council in 1927, re-granted to the District Council on July 22, 1977 and again to the Area Council on March 22, 1996. The only difference is in the crowns used on the arms. These are thus not shown here. The motto is not used by the present Area Council.

The first and fourth quarter show the arms of the historical province of Moray. The second and third quarter show the arms of Thomas Randolph, First Earl of Moray in 1312.

Literature : Patton, 1977, Urquhart, 2001
