A Flag for Moray

In an article entitled, "Public set to design and choose new Moray and Banffshire flags, which will be unfurled in 2023", locals are being given the chance to design them. A competition inviting members of the public to create flags for both areas will launch on Monday, February 27, and run for four weeks. The competitions will close on Friday, March 24, before the field is whittled down to four finalists for each Lieutenancy by an expert panel. The public will then again be involved as they choose their favourite. Winning flags will be registered with the Lyon Court and the Flag Institute's UK Flag Registry. Contest winners will be invited to do the flag-raising honours at official launch ceremonies in Moray and Banffshire in late summer.

The winning design features a green hoist and golden sheaf recalling the rich agricultural output of the county, while the wavy blue and yellow fields reference the sea and sand of the coast.

The main Moray flag-raising took place in Elgin at 2pm. There were simultaneous flag-raising events in Forres (Tolbooth), Lossiemouth (Station Park), Fochabers (Milne's Primary) and Rothes (Glen Grant Distillery).

The central golden colour recalls the agriculture of the area as well as the whisky industry, which is further referenced by the whisky pegoda which can be seen abundantly in this Speyside county. The zig-zag shape, together with the deep red-purple and sky blue colours recall the hills that surround the inland borders of the county.

The salmon represents both the in-land waterways such as the River Spey, but also the maritime fishing industry and the wider Moray Firth.

This flag features the traditional stars associated with Moray as used by the ancient earldom and the former civic arms. These stars are placed on a background of dark blue and orange. The blue also reflects the heraldic traditions of the area, but the dark shade with the stars reflecting the noted dark skies of the region. The wavy line and orange colour recall the River Spey.

Voting on the competition will be open for six weeks, from today (Tuesday, June 27) until Tuesday, August 8.
