To reply replace the rock with my surname

Anne where is Fochabers? Sounds Scottish to me.

Yes. It's where the main Aberdeen to Inverness road crosses the River Spey.
If you have heard of Baxters soup, this is where it's made.

Weather update: it is now snowing on one side of the house, and sunny on the
other.

Drove through it many times on my way from Banff to the fleshpots of
Elgin (and back again)!
Good chippy there, Baxters Foods and Christie's Nursery - that's about
all I can remember of it!

I must have passed through it in November, 1978, but alas I can't
remember it at all.

Well he wasn't the only one to move a village away from his castle.

All still there. Plus a Chinese take-away and a tearoom.

Still having all seasons in one day here.
