Elgin HotelsWelcome to Springburn Log Cabins.
Situated in the heart of Morayshire, among beautiful scenery and spectacular wildlife in one of the north east of Scotland's most unspoilt areas which is steeped in history and folklore.

From the distilleries hiding in the glens to the little fishing villages huddled on the coast, the range of Scotlands landscapes are all represented here.

The area also has an ancient history to be envied as the Picts had a major settlement in Burghead and Forres contains a unique example of carved stone monolith the likes of which is found nowhere else in Scotland.

It is probably more pleasant to leave the A9 at Aviemore and follow the A95 to Grantown-on-Spey and then the A94 to Forres.
From Forres carry on the A96 towards Elgin until you come to the signs marked Miltonduff. Turn right off the A96 and head for Miltonduff.
You could on the other hand take the A95 to Craigellachie and then take the A941 to Elgin.Inverness Airport is 35 miles away and Aberdeen is 70 miles. Car rental companies are at both airports.If travelling by rail either take the east coast line to Aberdeen and get a connection to Elgin station which is 4 miles from the cabins or travel to Inverness and take the connection to Elgin.
