Built around a medieval street
plan, this royal and ancient borough is today a
key centre for tourists heading for the area known
as Moray. Only a small part of the town’s castle
survives but Elgin’s twice-ruined 13th century
cathedral is considered one of Scotland’s finest
ecclesiastical buildings. First burned down by
Wolf of Badenoch, illegitimate son of Robert 11 in
1390, it is known as the ‘lantern of the north’.
