As a small market town, Elgin wouldn’t be complete without the monthly farmers’ market — the second farmers’ market established in Scotland — held in the centre at the Plainstones. Here you can pick up plants and locally made arts and crafts alongside cheeses, pastries, and freshly caught local seafood, including lobster and salmon.
