About this spot
Located in the heart of Moray, Elgin lies approximately 35 miles northeast of Inverness and 60 miles east of Aberdeen, nestled beside the River Lossie.
The town's most iconic landmark is undoubtedly the magnificent Elgin Cathedral, also known as the "Lantern of the North."
The Gothic-style cathedral was once a breathtaking piece of architecture, but was sadly ravaged during the Scottish Reformation in the 16th century. Despite this, the cathedral's imposing ruins continue to draw in many visitors, making it a great spot for photos during the day.
