Welcome to Elgin Scotland
 Elgin
is a former cathedral city and Royal Burgh in Moray, Scotland and is the
administrative and commercial centre for the Moray area.
The town originated to the south of the River Lossie on the higher ground
above the flood plain.
Elgin is first documented in the Cartulary of Moray in 1190. It was created
a Royal Burgh in the 12th century by King David I of Scotland and by that
time had a castle on top of the present day Lady Hill to the west of the
city.
Elgin is a lively market town which grew up in the thirteenth century
around the River Lossie. Much of the original medieval street plan remains;
the busy main street opens out onto an old cobbled market place and there
are wynds and pends to explore.
Elgin Museum is to be found at the top of the High Street in a building
which has housed it since 1843, though as an institution it is much older.
It is home to some fascinating displays on local history and regional
archaeology.
The High Street itself is pedestrianised, and the buildings are attractive.
To the west it widens out into the market place, known as the Plainstones,
an area dominated by the Neoclassical parish church of St Giles.
