What is recorded here
This black commemorative plaque records: Moray Institute: From 1843 to 1859 the former site of the Independent Church was used as parochial offices and as a reading room. In 1888 a new building was gifted by the Earl of Moray and opened as the Moray Institute. It provided a library, reading room and ‘first class’ billiard table. The former Burgh Council met here between 1890 and 1922. Since then the Institute has been converted to housing. Recorded plaque organisation: Kilmadock Development Trust.
The Moray Institute, established in 1888 by the Earl of Moray, served as a cultural and administrative hub offering educational resources and facilities until its conversion into residential space. It also functioned as the meeting place for the Burgh Council from 1890 to 1922, highlighting its significance in local governance and community life.
