January 1970
The building was completed by the end of the century and the work of the University flourished for five years. The religious quarrels of the times however, then intervened and the University came to an untimely end.
These events were brought to mind again recently. A carved stone, known locally as the ‘Ten Commandments’ or ‘Moses’ stone and believed to be the altar stone of the old university, was rapidly deteriorating in its site on the outside wall of Fraserburgh South Church. Expert advice was that it should be brought indoors. The cost of the move was met by the Town Council, the Feurs’ Managers and numerous organisations. And in October, the stone, now warm and dry inside the church, was unveiled by Captain Alexander Ramsey of Mar.
