FOCHABERS is a small town and burgh
of barony, in the parish of Bellie, Moray-
shire poor combination and Elgin small debt
court district, 52 miles east of Inverness, 12
south-west of Cullen, 9 east of Elgin and 8
north-west-by-north of Keith, with a termi-
nal station on a branch of the Highland
railway from Orbiston, and another at
Fochabers Spey, locally in Banffshire, and
4 miles north-east, on the Great North of
Scotland Railway ; situated on the north
road from Aberdeen to Inverness, and
lying in a deep valley, through which
the Spey runs at a little "distance to the west
of the town, and is crossed by a stone
bridge. The streets diverge from a square,
on the south side of which stands tbe parish
church. The water supply to the burgb
was provided at the sole expense of the
Duke of Richmond and Gordon K.G., P.C.
and the inhabitants have erected a foun-
tain in the square to commemorate the
gift. The burgh is governed by a baron
bailie appointed by the Dake of Richmond
FOCHABERS.
and Gordon K.G., P.C. There are Epis-
copalian, Established, United Free and
Roman Catholic churches. A new United
Free church was erected in 1900, at a cost
of about £3,000. left for the purpose by
the late Wm. Pringle esq. of Inverness, a~
native of this place. At the west end of
the town is a gate leading into the policies
of Gordon Castle, the seat of Che Duke of
Richmond and Gordon K.G., P.C. The
Castle is a fine modern mansion, standing
in an extensive deer park of over
1,200 acres; the present building is
grafted on to the old tower of tbe
Earls of Huntly, who held it from 1450 to
1684 ; it then stood in a gloomy morass
(known as Bog of Gight), over which
a stone causeway was the only means of
access): this tower, which is 90 feet in
height, now forms the most conspicuous
feature in a large quadrangular building of
four storeys, flanked by lower wings which
;ire connected to the main building by long
galleries ; the interior contains many valu-
able pictures and some etatuary. The
Public baths here were the gift of the
late Duchess of Richmond and Gordon.
The Free school at the east end of the town,
founded by "Alexander Milne e6q. a native
of Fochabers, is a building in the Eliza-
bethan style, erected at a cost of £4,338;
bv his will, dated New Orleans, 17th
October, 1836, the founder bequeathed to
the parishes of Bellie and Ordlquish the
snm of 100,000 dollars for establishing a
free school; and a balance of about £17,000
was eventually invested in heritable secu-
rity, and yields an annual income of about
£550, by means of which 300 children are
educated. A memorial fountain was
erected in October, 1895, to Major Wilson,
slain during the Matebele war of 1893.
The population in 1901 was 981, and
number of inhabited houses, 260.
BELLIE parish was formerly partly in
Banffshire, but by an Order of the Boundary
Commissioners, it is now wholly in Elgin-
shire; it is a flat agricultural district,
