The men of Moray, however, and their Pictish Maormors remained ungrateful, and irreconcilably opposed to Scottish rule; and Moray, then stretching across almost from ocean to ocean, barred the way of the Scots to the north. What he could not achieve by arms, Malcolm, both before and after his accession, decided to secure by a series of matrimonial alliances.
"Look here, you, sir," said the Sergeant very gruffly as he turned upon me; "young recruits to the corps have got all their work cut out to learn their duty, without criticising their superior officers. So just you hold your tongue." "That's a snub, Moray," said Denham; "but never mind. Look here, Sergeant, how's your wound?" "Wound, sir?" he replied. "I haven't got any wound."
"From this frank offer it is apparent that Mary was not aware of the base part Elizabeth had acted, in purchasing her magnificent parure of pearls of Moray, for a third part of their value." It was fished up by a little negro boy in 1560, who obtained his liberty by opening an oyster. The modest bivalve was so small that the boy in disgust was about to pitch it back into the sea.
Moray," said General Wolfe, when I saw him, racked with pain, studying a chart of the river and town which his chief engineer had just brought him, "show me here this passage in the hillside."

When Albin her claymore indignantly draws, When her bonneted chieftains around her shall crowd, Clan-Ranald the dauntless, and Moray the proud, All plaided and plumed in their tartan array LOCHEIL'S WARNING. Whoever saw that morning, the Castle of Darnlinvarach, beheld a busy and a gallant sight.
There is not a more quarrelsome dress than a tartan kilt and I'm thinking the Brodies were ill friends with the Macraes in the old days." "The Brodies are not Highlanders." "You are a shamefully ignorant man, Ian Macrae. The Brodies came from Moray, and are the only true lineal descendants of Malcolm Thane of Brodie in the reign of Alexander the Third, lawful King of Scotland.
"Meanwhile you may wait here till Captain Moray has breakfasted, and then you shall be at his service; and I would have a word with you, also." Turning with a polite gesture to me, he led the way into the breakfast-room, and at once, half famished, I was seated at the table, drinking a glass of good wine, and busy with a broiled whitefish of delicate quality.
Hugo Freskyn of Sutherland had three sons, William, great-grandson of the original Freskyn, dominus or Lord of Sutherland, and afterwards first earl, Walter, who succeeded to Strabrock in Linlithgowshire and to Duffus and the family estates in Moray, which were thus severed in ownership from Sutherland, and Andrew.
