There are two large detached portions of Morayshire situated locally in Inverness-shire, and a corresponding part of Inverness-shire situated locally in Morayshire. On the creation of the new administrative counties of Scotland in 1889 (which were distinct and separate entities from the traditional counties), these parts were considered to be part of the administrative county in which they locally lie. The administrative county shown was initially officially called Elginshire.
Morayshire is also that name of a registration county for property, and a slightly smaller area is a Lieutenancy Area named Moray. This area consists almost exactly of the rump of the traditional county, without its exclaves in Inverness-shire.
The Elginshire is principally held on the port side, and at the stern-post.
The discharging of the Elginshire is proceeding rapidly.
To assist in landing the cargo the schooner Comet was taken by the Koputai from Timaru to the scene of the stranding, and the remainder of the wool and some cases of preserved meat were placed on board her.
