FOCHABERS

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 587 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FOCHABERS , a
burgh
  of barony and
village
  of Elginshire,
Scotland
 . Pop. (Igor) 981. It is delightfully situated on the Spey, about 9 M. E. by S. of
Elgin
 , the terminus of a branch of the Highland railway connecting at Orbliston Junction with the main line from
Elgin
  to Keith. The town was rebuilt in its present situation at the end of the 18th century, when its earlier site was required for alterations in the grounds of Gordon Castle, in which the old town
cross
  still stands. The streets all lead at right angles to the central square, where fairs and markets are held. The public buildings include a library and reading-room, the court-
house
  and the Milne school, named after Alexander Milne, who endowed it with a legacy of 20,000. Adjoining the town, surrounded by a park containing many magnificent old trees, stands Gordon Castle, the
chief
  seat of the duke of Richmond and Gordon, erected in the 18th century. The antiquary George Chalmers (17421825) and the composer William Marshall (17481833) were natives of the
burgh
 .
