Moniack Castle
Moniack Castle is a 16th-century tower house located west of Inverness, and just south of Beauly in Highland, Scotland. The castle was built in 1580 by members of the Clan Fraser. The castle is protected as a category B listed building. History The L-plan castle has been altered many times since its construction. The crenellated parapet was added in 1804 and the castle was extended in the 1830s. The interiors include a Roman Catholic chapel. In the grounds of the castle is the Balblair Stone, a Pictish symbol stone, carved with the figure of a man, which was moved here from Kilmorack in 1903. Moniack Castle is the only castle that still belongs to a branch of the Lovat Frasers. This branch is known as the Moniack Frasers and is the largest offshoot of the clan. It consists of over 250 descendants from the Hon. Alastair Fraser and Lady Sybil (née Grimston). Alastair was given the castle by his elder brother, Simon Fraser, 14th Lord Lovat Major-General Simon Joseph Fraser, 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moniack Burn
Moniack Burn (Scottish Gaelic: ''Mon-ìothag'', meaning "Burn of the Corn Moss") is a small river in the Highland council area of Scotland. The streams flows from the hills of the Aird, its source near the hamlet of Foxhole, passing the villages of Clunes, Easter, and Kirkhill before draining into the Beauly Firth. In the past, Moniack was the name given both to the burn and its surrounding area. According to a late-14th century transumpt of charters detailing the bishopric of Moray, Moniack (or ''Munythoc''), was one of the nine davochs of Dunballoch, a former parish in modern-day Kirkhill. In the Wardlaw Manuscript, written by the Rev. James Fraser in 1666, Moniack is referred to as the "Burn of Jack"—believed to be a corruption of its original Gaelic name. In 1637, the river suffered severe flooding, destroying several houses and drowning livestock in the village of Easter. The river is also known as "Newton Burn" at its mouth, near the village of Kirkhill. Moniack Gorg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Moniac (other)
The MONIAC (Monetary National Income Analogue Computer), also known as the Phillips Hydraulic Computer and the Financephalograph, was created in 1949 by the New Zealand economist Bill Phillips to model the national economic processes of the United Kingdom, while Phillips was a student at the London School of Economics (LSE). The MONIAC was an analogue computer which used fluidic logic to model the workings of an economy. The MONIAC name may have been suggested by an association of money and ENIAC, an early electronic digital computer. Description The MONIAC is approximately 2 m high, 1.2 m wide and almost 1 m deep, and consisted of a series of transparent plastic tanks and pipes which were fastened to a wooden board. Each tank represented some aspect of the UK national economy and the flow of money around the economy was illustrated by coloured water. At the top of the board was a large tank called the treasury. Water (representing money) flowed from the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
