a regular destination

by iaint - last update: Aug 23, 2009

why?

the cathedral
I spent every summer holiday in Morayshire until I was about 15 - see my Findhorn pages.

I have a cousin who lives in Findhorn (near Elgin).

My son plays ice hockey there (long story...).

Morayshire is great.
catching the rays

summer 04

My first real holiday there for 30+ years. We (my son & I) spent a week in Morayshire in August 04.

Junior spent most of it at an ice hockey school, here at the leisure centre.

Its a good facility - swimming and fitness room as well as an ice pad.
is it hopeman or burghead?

fresh air

You'll find lots of beaches in the area.

You get forests and mountains in other direction.

Oh, and umpteen distilleries to visit if you need a break from the outdoor stuff!

 Ah ,yes, Elgin. Been there a few times in the 60s to catch a bus back to Aberdeen... A daughter lived there for a while too.
