DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Moray and Nairn: With Maps, Diagrams and Illustrations The word shire is of Old English origin, and meant charge, administration. The Norman Conquest intro duced an alternative designation, the word county - through Old French from Latin comitatus, which in mediaeval documents stands for shire. County denotes the district under a count, the king's comes, the equivalent of the older English term earl. This system of local administration entered Scotland as part of the anglo-norman influence that strongly affected our country after 1100. Our shires dii'fer in origin, and have arisen from a combination of causes - geographical, political and ecclesiastical. The boundaries, though often perplexing, have in the main been determined by the geographical features. Such is the case with Moray.
