Kellas, Moray
Kellas (Scottish Gaelic: "Ceallais" ) is a village in Moray, Scotland.
 It is approximately three miles North East of Dallas on the B9010 road.
 The Kellas cat is named after this village.
Kellas cat
The Kellas cat is a small black feline found in Scotland.
 Once thought to be a mythological wild cat, with its few sightings dismissed as hoaxes, a specimen was killed by being caught in a snare in 1984 by a gamekeeper named Ronnie Douglas and found to be a hybrid between wild and domestic sub-species of "Felis silvestris".
 It is not a formal breed of cat, but a landrace of felid hybrids.
 It is named after the village of Kellas, Moray, where it was first found.
 The historian Charles Thomas speculates that the Pictish stone at Golspie may depict a Kellas.
 The Golspie stone, now held at the Dunrobin Castle Museum, shows a cat-like creature standing on top of a salmon which may allude to the characteristics ascribed to a Kellas of catching fish while river swimming.
Donnayite-(Y)
Donnayite-(Y) is a rare-earth carbonate mineral containing the rare-earth metal yttrium.
 It was first discovered in 1978 at Mont St-Hilaire, Quebec.
 Donnayite was subsequently identified and named after Joseph D. H. Donnay and his wife, Gabrielle Donnay.
 Both were prominent mineralogists and crystallographers, and J. D. H. Donnay was awarded the Roebling Award by the Mineralogical Society of America in 1971 for his emphasis on the importance of optical mineralogy and crystal morphology.
 Donnayite tends to occur in small quantities in the pegmatite dykes and miarolitic cavities of mountainous regions.
 It crystallizes in this environment with increasing alkalinity values until the alkalinity suddenly drops during the last stage of crystallization.
 This results in increasing amounts of Na carbonates and REE minerals.
 First discovered at Mont St-Hilaire, donnayite has since been found in the Southern Ural Mountains of Russia and the Narssarssuk pegmatite of South Greenland.
 Donnayite crystals tend to be small and the color is commonly pale yellow to yellow with a white streak and a vitreous luster.
 Donnayite crystals usually display trigonal or hexagonal symmetry and have a hardness of 3.
 Twinning is extremely common in this mineral.
 Minerals closely related to donnayite include synchysite, calcite, sphalerite, microcline, and analcime.
 Donnayite is isomorphous with weloganite and mckelveyite. Cape Carnot
Cape Carnot (French: "Cap Carnot" ) is a headland located on the west side of the southern tip of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia about 30 km south west of the city of Port Lincoln.
 The cape is described by one source as being the “S(outh) W(est) extremity of a broad promontory of which Cape Wiles, 3 nmi to the E(ast), is the S(outh) E(ast) extremity”.
 It is one of a number of coastal features first discovered but not subsequently named by Matthew Flinders in February 1802 and which remained unnamed.
 In 1913, the Government of South Australia gave the unnamed feature the name proposed by the Baudin expedition when it visited in April 1802.
 The name Cape Carnot honours Lazare Carnot who is notable as a “French mathematician, general and statesman, who played a prominent part in the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era”.
 The cape is considered by the Australian Hydrographic Service to be the eastern end of the Great Australian Bight.
 Since 2012, the waters adjoining its shoreline are within a habitat protection zone in the Thorny Passage Marine Park. Findochty
Findochty (pronounced ), Scots: "Finichty" , Scottish Gaelic: "Am Fionn Ochdamh" ) is a village in Moray, Scotland on the shores of the Moray Firth; historically it was part of Banffshire.
 The Gaelic name of the village was recorded by Diack using his own transcription method as "fanna-guchti", which is of unclear meaning.
 One of the earliest references to Findochty is in 1440, when the King granted Findachtifeild to John Dufe, son of John Dufe.
 The lands passed from the Duffs to the Ogilvies of Findlater and subsequently, in 1568, the Ord family acquired the manor, port, custom and fishers' lands of Findochty, and later built the House of Findochty, known as Findochty Castle, now a ruin, which stands to the west of the village.
 In 1716 the Ords brought 13 men and 4 boys from Fraserburgh under contract to fish from Findochty, and for a time the harbour was busy with landings of herring and white fish.
 Findochty expanded as a fishing port through the 1700s and 1800s, and by 1850 was home to 140 fishing boats.
 But the expansion in the late 1800s of nearby Buckie provided a better harbour, and some of the fishing fleet had left Findochty by 1890.
 Findochty harbour is now used mostly by pleasure craft and is a good sun spot when the tide is out.
 A local artist, Correna Cowie created a statue in 1959 of a seated fisherman, known as The Mannie, who watches over the harbour. Auchinhove
Auchinhove, located to the east of Keith in Moray, Scotland, is the site of a Roman marching camp, first discovered by aerial photography in 1949. List of Halley-type comets
The following is a list of Halley-type comets (HTCs), which are periodic comet with an orbital period between 20 and 200 years, often appearing only once or twice within one's lifetime.
 The majority come from between the orbits of Saturn and Neptune; Due to the nature of their orbits, their orbits can be perturbed by the giant planets and sent into orbits too far from the Sun to outgas, and vice versa.
 Minor planets in comet-like orbits similar to HTCs that never come close enough to the Sun to outgas are called Centaurs.
 HTCs are named after the first discovered member, and the first discovered periodic comet, Halley's Comet, which orbits the Sun in about 75 years, and passing as far as the orbit of Neptune. Dean of Moray
The Dean of Moray was the head of the cathedral chapter of the diocese of Moray, north-central Scotland, based at Elgin Cathedral.
 The diocese of Moray is first known to have had a dean from a document dating between 1207 and 1208, and its first dean known by name from a document dating between 1207 and 1211.
 The position remained in existence until the 17th century. Gymnothorax pikei
Gymnothorax pikei, Pike's moray, is a rare moray eel found in the western Pacific and Indian Oceans.
 It was first named by Bliss in 1883.
 The species is represented by only two specimens – the type specimen discovered in 1883, and a second found in 1962.
 It is very similar to two other species, "Gymnothorax berndti" and "Gymnothorax ypsilon", and is distinguished from the latter by fewer black lines and the presence of horizontal black lines towards the tail, and differs from both species in the absence of a white margin along the anal fin. Southern moray eel
The southern moray ("Gymnothorax austrinus") is a moray eel found in the eastern Indian Ocean, around Victoria, Australia.
 It was first named by Böhlke and McCosker in 2001.
 It lives in moderate-temperature, marine habitat; it is a demersal fish.
 The maximum length discovered was a female at 88.2 cm long.
