Our Beautiful County

Nestled in the world-famous whisky region, Elgin lies on the south coast of the Moray Firth roughly midway between Inverness and Aberdeen and straddles the River Lossie. The town offers many pleasant characteristics, breath-taking scenery and a number of local distilleries.

On North College Street is the lovely ruin of Elgin Cathedral. Once considered Scotland's most beautiful cathedral, rivalling St Andrews in importance, today it is little more than a shell, though it does retain its original facade. Unusual features include the Pictish cross slab in the middle of the ruins and the cracked gravestones with their memento of skulls and crossbones.

At the very top of High Street is one of Britain's oldest museums, the Elgin Museum, housed in this building since 1843. Along with the St Giles Shopping Centre the beautiful and historic City of Elgin boasts an exciting collection of unique independent specialist shops and high street names, offering first class customer service. As well as the exciting shopping offer, there are a huge range of places to eat and drink, that will suit all tastes and budgets.
There is plenty to do within a stone’s throw from Elgin - enjoy what our beautiful county of Morayshire has to offer.
