A Duke of Edinburgh Award stone was unveiled in Duffus – which marks the final of five DofE stones which form a trail around Moray.

A ceremony, held last Thursday (July20) at the rose garden in Duffus, was opened by piper Lauren Caldwell, with Gordonstoun School pupils Gianna Gillies and Rob Lyall joining Lord-Lieutenant of Moray Major General Seymour Monro, Moray Council Civic Leader Cllr John Cowe and Janis and Derek Thomson from the Moray DofE charity, to unveil the heritage marker.

The trail ends close to where the DofE Award has its beginnings.

In 1936, founding headmaster of Gordonstoun, Kurt Hahn, created the original Moray Badge which later evolved into the DofE Award.
