Findhorn
Findhorn ( or ''Inbhir Èireann'') is a village in Moray, Scotland. It is located on the eastern shore of Findhorn Bay and immediately south of the Moray Firth. Findhorn is 3 miles (5 km) northwest of Kinloss, Scotland, Kinloss, and about 5 miles (9 km) by road from Forres. The Findhorn Foundation lies to the south of Findhorn Village but is considered separate from it. History Original settlement The existing settlement is the second village to bear this name, the original having been a mile to the northwest of the present position and inundated by the sea. This transposition was not an overnight catastrophe but a gradual withdrawal from the earlier site during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Some sources (e.g. Graham), claim it is the third village to bear the name, perhaps erroneously assuming that the seventeenth century destruction of the nearby Barony of Culbin by shifting sands resulted in an earlier relocation. Findhorn was part of the ...

Barony Of Muirton
Baron of Muirton is a title of nobility in the Baronage of Scotland. The first known Crown charter was granted in 1532, to Robert Reid (bishop), Robert Reid, Abbot of Kinloss. In 2019, the current baron ascended to the title The M. Hon. Dr. Richard Bruce Culbert of Muirton, 32nd Baron of Muirton. Baronies originated during the Middle Ages and were lands held by barons in feu as "tenants in chief" of the monarch. The baron had the rights to the production of the land and was responsible to maintain law and order in the name of the king. He usually had to provide military forces in times of war, as well. Over time law enforcement and other powers were gradually stripped from barons. In Scotland, the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000, Abolition of Feudal Tenures Act 2000 separated the title of baron from the land becoming a personal title and allowed it to be transferred as an incorporeal hereditament. Location The boundaries of the Barony have changed ove ...
