Moray (English spelling)

Japanese: マリー(英語表記)Moray
Moray (English spelling)
A unitary authority (councillor area) in the northeast of Scotland, United Kingdom. Formerly called Elginshire. The seat of its administrative office is Elgin. It extends inland from the south shore of Murray Bay. It comprises most of the former districts of Murray and Banffshire. In 1975 it became part of the Grampian district in a municipal reorganization, and in 1996 it became a unitary authority. The rivers Spey and Findhorn rise in the hills and peat bogs in the south, cross the fertile coastal plains, and empty into Murray Bay. At the southern end stands the great massif of the Cairngorms, which rises to an elevation of nearly 1,220m. In ancient times it was inhabited by the Picts, but in the 9th century Kenneth McAlpin united it with the Scots and it came to be called Murray. Murray was once much larger than the former districts, and was one of the seven traditional regions of Scotland. It was hardly affected by the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century, but tourism and fishing developed with the opening of the railway. The main agricultural products are cereals, potatoes, and pasture for hay. Beef cattle are raised on the plains, and sheep are grazed on the hills. Manufacturing industries are mainly food processing, shipbuilding, and equipment for the North Sea oil industry, and whiskey production is also carried out. Tourism is also an important pillar of the local economy, thanks to salmon fishing on the River Spey, seaside resorts, and beautiful rural scenery. The largest city, Elgin, is also the commercial center. Area: 2,238 km2 . Population: 89,030 (2006 estimate).

The area is located in northwest Victoria, Australia, between the Wimmera and Murray rivers. The unique eucalyptus vegetation, known as the Murray, was once cleared for wheat cultivation, causing problems with soil erosion. Today, as part of the Wimmera-Murray Water District, water is supplied to an area of ​​approximately 25,000 km2, and agricultural development is underway with a combination of irrigated pastures, fodder crops and cereal crops.

イギリス,スコットランド北東部の単一自治体(カウンシルエリア council area)。旧称エルギンシャー。行政府所在地エルギン。マリー湾の南岸から内陸に広がる。旧マリー県と旧バンフシャー県の大部分からなる。1975年の自治体再編でグランピアン県の一部となり,1996年に単一自治体となった。スペー川,フィンドホーン川は南部の丘陵地帯や泥炭湿原を水源とし,沿岸部の肥沃な平野を横切りマリー湾に注ぐ。南端には標高 1220m近いケアンゴーム山地の大山塊がそびえる。古くはピクト人が住んでいたが,9世紀にケネス・マカルピンによりスコット人の土地と統合され,マリーと呼ばれるようになった。かつてのマリーは旧県よりはるかに広く,スコットランドの七つの伝統的地方の一つであった。19世紀の産業革命の影響はほとんど受けなかったが,鉄道の開通により観光業と漁業が発展した。おもな農産物は穀物,ジャガイモ,干し草用の牧草。平野部では肉牛が飼育され,丘陵地帯では羊の放牧が行なわれる。製造業は食品加工,造船,北海の石油産業用機器を主とし,ウイスキーの製造も行なわれる。スペー川でのサケ釣りや海辺のリゾート,美しい田園風景などにより,観光も地域経済の重要な柱となっている。最大都市エルギンは商業の中心でもある。面積 2238km2。人口 8万9030(2006推計)。
