| Page Views: 383 Last Visit to Elgin: September, 2007 I Visit Here Frequently | Elgin by scottishvisitor - last update: Nov 9, 2009  |
Elgin used to be a Cathedral City and later became a Royal Burgh -today it is just a simple Highland town situated near the Moray Coast, only seventy five miles from home but it takes around an hour and a half to get here. There is no dual carriageway to speed the journey but the coast road (A96) provides a senic route. My Son and his family moved to Elgin at the end of July - I couldn't believe we had rain after our sunny arrival for a weekend visit in August! Our second trip to deliver Shannan's Birthday present saw some fine sunny weather but we were only here for a day in September. A future weekend visit will see me back in the Highland town again in October - hopefully the sun will shine and I will again see my favourite family. Well the sun did shine revealing lovely Autumn colours during my October visit with more to see and do.

I've explored your updates from October, 2007. Thanks Joan for the virtual tour to this ancient town with wonderful Cathedral. I enjoyed the pics from Zoo and the dog on intro page. Really you shall miss Charly! | JLBG Sun Jun 21, 2009 05:30 UTC
Visit of the Black Isle Brewery looks very informative ... and with a pleasant end! I hope their will remain small fishing boats for a long time. Superb photo of reflections of the town! | BruceDunning Thu Jun 11, 2009 22:52 UTC
I visited this site since I was raised in Elgin, Illinois US. What a different perspective. It looks like a real fine town and area to tour. Thanks for the wonderful pics and comments | Bwana_Brown Thu Feb 19, 2009 18:19 UTC
I loved the time worn appearance of the stone buildings in Elgin and a very lovely park too! What a beautiful part of Scotland this is. Great updates Joan! |
