WELCOME

to family and local-history researchers

and storytellers

with a special interest

in people who went abroad

from the area of

the old Province of Moray

which had (and has)

Strathspey

at its heart!

Aye Brizzing Yont!

As owre the world’s whinstane roads

Life’s fash you’re fechtin’ thro’

Ye’ll likely meet wi’mony slips

An maybe fa’s a few,

But no for that gang heepie-creep,

But still wi’ manly front

Thro’ drodum-skelpin’ scaur an’ waur

Be aye brizzing yont.

From “Lilts of the Doric Lyre: A collection of humorous poems and versified sketches of Scottish Manners and Characters” by Alex G. Murdoch published by A.F. Sharp &Co Glasgow 1873

Please note: 

In all these pages the use of bold type-face for specific words in the text, wide spacing and short paragraphs is intended to provide clear “stepping stones” for the many people who have problems with visual focus, especially when faced by broad rivers of text. 

It may also help those who are scanning or speed reading but that is a spin off. 

Thank you for your understanding.
