The County of Moray, (Scottish Gaelic: Moireibh[ˈmɤɾʲəv]) or Morayshire,[1] called Elginshire until 1919,[2] is a historic county, registration county and lieutenancy area of Scotland, bordering Nairnshire to the west, Inverness-shire to the south, and Banffshire to the east.[3][4] It was a local government county, with Elgin the county town, until 1975. The county was officially called Elginshire, sharing the name of the Elginshire parliamentary constituency, so named since 1708.[5]
The registration county, for property, is, 'County of Moray', and the Lieutenancy area, for ceremonial purposes is 'Moray' or 'Morayshire'. The lieutenancy area contains a slightly smaller area than the historic county.
