Area Guide For Elgin

Elgin is a previous church building city and Royal Burgh in Moray, Scotland. It is the managerial and business habitat for Moray. The town started to the south of the River Lossie on the higher ground over the floodplain. Elgin is initially recorded in the Cartulary of Moray in 1190 AD. It was made a Royal Burgh in the twelfth century by King David I of Scotland and at that point had a stronghold on top of the present day Lady Hill to the west of the town.

In the 19th century the old medieval town of Elgin was swept away. The first major addition to the town centre was the Assembly Rooms, built in 1821 by the Trinity Lodge of Freemasons, at the corner of High Street and North Street. In 1819, Dr Gray's Hospital was built on unused ground. The building has imposing columns and distinctive dome.
