stone. On the denuded See also:surface of the See also:schists the Old Red See also:Sandstone was deposited and formerly doubtless covered most of the See also:county; outlying patches still remain near Drynachan See also:Lodge and near Highland Boath in Mackie See also:Burn. The See also:Lower Old Red rocks are basal breccias followed by shales with calcareous nodules containing fossil See also:fish. The Upper Old Red, which is found usually nearer the See also:coast, is unconformable on the Lower See also:series; it consists of red shales and See also:clays and obliquely bedded sandstones. Glacial deposits are widely spread; they comprise a Lower See also:Boulder See also:Clay, a series of gravels and sands, followed by an Upper. Boulder Clay, above which comes a series of See also:gravel deposits forming ridges on the See also:moor-land between the See also:Nairn and Findhorn See also:rivers. A See also:fine See also:kame, resting on the See also:plain of See also:sand and gravel, lies between Meikle Kildrummie and See also:Loch Flemington, See also:south of the railway. Traces of the old marine terraces at toe ft., .50 ft. and 25 ft. are found near the coast, as well as considerable accumulations of blown sand.
See also:Climate and See also:Industries.—The climate is healthy and equable. The temperature for the See also:year averages 47° F., for See also:January 38° F., and for See also:July, 58° F. The mean See also:annual rainfall is 25 in. The See also:soil of the alluvial plain, or Laigh, is See also:light and porous and careful cultivation has rendered it very fertile; and there is some See also:rich land on the Findhorn. Although the most advanced methods of See also:agriculture are in use, but a small proportion of the surface is capable of tillage, only one-fifth of the whole See also:area being under crops. The hills are mostly covered with See also:heath and pasture, suitable for See also:sheep, and See also:cattle are kept on the lower lying ground. The county accords many facilities for See also:sport. A few distilleries, some sandstone and See also:granite quarries and the See also:sea and See also:salmon See also:fisheries of the Nairn practically represent The industries of the See also:shire, apart from agriculture. The Highland Railway from See also:Forres to See also:Inverness crosses the See also:north of the shire.
See also:Population and See also:Government.—In 1891 the population numbered 9155 and in 1901 it was 9291, or 57 persons to the sq. m. Besides the county See also:town of Nairn (pop. 5089), there are the parishes of Ardclach (pop. 772), and Auldearn (pop. of See also:parish 1292, of See also:village 313).
Nairn and See also:Elgin shires combine to return one member to See also:parliament, and the county town belongs to the Inverness See also:district See also:group of See also:parliamentary burghs (Forres, See also:Fortrose, Inverness and Nairn). The shire forms a sheriffdom with Inverness and Elgin and a See also:sheriff-substitute sits alternately at Nairn and Elgin.

Murray Nairne (1757–183o). He was descended from See also:Sir See also:Robert Nairne of Strathord (c. 162o-1683), a supporter of Charles II., who was created Baron Nairne in 1681. After his death without issue the See also:barony passed to his son-in-See also:law, See also:Lord William Murray (c. 1665–1726), the husband of his only daughter See also:Margaret (1669–1747) and a younger son of John Murray, 1st See also:marquess of Athole. William, who took the name of Nairne and became and Baron Nairne, joined the See also:standard of the See also:Jacobites in 1715; he was taken prisoner at the See also:battle of See also:Preston and was sentenced to death. He was, however, pardoned, but his See also:title was forfeited. His son John (c. 1691–1770), who but for this See also:forfeiture would have been the 3rd Baron Nairne, was also taken prisoner at Preston, but he was soon set at See also:liberty. In the rising of 1745 he was one of the Jacobite leaders, being See also:present at the battles of See also:Prestonpans, of See also:Falkirk and of See also:Culloden, and consequently he was attainted in 1946; but escaped to See also:France. His son John (d. 1782) was the father of William Murray Nairne, who, being restored to the barony of Nairne in 1824, became the 5th baron. The male See also:line became See also:extinct when his son William, the 6th baron (1808–1837), died unmarried. The next See also:heir was a See also:cousin, Margaret, Baroness See also:Keith of See also:Stonehaven Marischal (1788–1867), wife of Auguste Charles See also:Joseph, See also:comte de Flahaut de la Billarderie, but she did not claim the title. In 1874, however, the right of her daughter, the wife of the 4th marquess of See also:Lansdowne, was allowed by the See also:House of Lords.
