All about Elgin
Located along the River Lossie in the northeastern region of Moray, the Scottish town of Elgin is known for its medieval architecture, and is home to notable cathedrals, abbeys, and cemeteries. Walking paths in the centre of town take you along the river through Cooper Park and Elgin Biblical Garden and past local landmarks including Elgin Cathedral and Bishopmill Bridge. While the town’s historical sites are a major draw, Elgin is also close to some of Speyside’s most famous whisky distilleries.
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.

The garden also features a maze and an outdoor theatre.
