Elgin is a former cathedral city and Royal Burgh in Moray, Scotland. Elgin is the administrative and commercial centre for Moray. The town originated to the south of the River Lossie on the higher ground above the floodplain. Elgin is first documented in the Cartulary of Moray in 1190 AD. It was created a Royal Burgh in the 12th century by King David I of Scotland and by that time had a castle on top of the present day Lady Hill to the west of the town.
The modern town straddles the River Lossie, with the suburbs of Bishopmill to the north and New Elgin to the south. Permo-Triassic rocks, rare in Scotland, are commonly found around Elgin. These are composed of aeolian sandstone formed when this area was subjected to desert conditions. Quarry Wood, on the town's edge, has a formation nicknamed Cuttie's Hillock which produced the internationally known fossils called the Elgin Reptiles. In the Elgin district, boulders belonging to the lowest group of Jurassic strata, Oxford clay and chalk are found both in glacial deposits and on the surface of the ground. The largest of these deposits is at Linksfield, where limestone and shale lie on boulder clay. There is a large hill in downtown Elgin, often viewed as the highlight of the Elgin tourist trail.
Elgin is situated on the A96 trunk route which connects the cities of Aberdeen and Inverness. Heavy traffic through the town causes serious congestion. Scottish transport minister Tavish Scott visited the town in August 2006 to look at the traffic management problems and to meet campaigners for a bypass. It is estimated that a bypass would remove about one third of traffic from Elgin's streets. The A941 runs from Lossiemouth through Elgin to Rothes, Craigellachie, Dufftown and Rhynie. Elgin railway station is operated by Abellio ScotRail. The railway also connects to Aberdeen and Inverness which have trains to other UK destinations. Elgin's bus station is operated mainly by Stagecoach, and provides services within Elgin and to other local towns as well as to Aberdeen and Inverness. There is a 'Jet' bus service which runs to the Inverness Airport at Dalcross, Inverness has flights to mainly UK destinations while Aberdeen airport has UK and international flights.

The Sleeper PART 1
Filmed in the stairwell of an Elgin city centre car park, Sleeper is a story about a group of teenagers trapped by supernatural forces in the stairwell of a car park. A local myth tells how the car park is constructed over an ancient Pictish temple to a God who drew power from human sacrifice. Looking for a way back into the world and a chance to be reborn in the blood of the innocent, the ancient god finds the perfect priestess in Vivienne, the sultry outsider with a hidden purpose.
Working with two professional film makers Sleepers was devised, created and performed by a group of young people from the Elgin area.
The project was supported by Moray Council Arts Development and funded through Eden Court Theatre's Creative Identities - a Cashback for Communities project. The film contains strong language and scenes of mild horror and therefore only suitable for those over 15 years.

Places to see in ( Nairn - UK )
Nairn is a town and former burgh in the Highland council area of Scotland. Nairn is an ancient fishing port and market town around 16 miles east of Inverness. Nairn was the county town of the wider county of Nairn also known as Nairnshire.
Nairn is now best known as a seaside resort, with two golf courses, award-winning beaches, a community centre/mid-scale arts venue (Nairn Community & Arts Centre), a small theatre (called The Little Theatre) and one small museum, providing information on the local area and incorporating the collection of the former Fishertown museum.
Nairn has an expanse of sand beaches that were used extensively in training exercises for the Normandy landings during World War 2. The beaches around Nairn had landmines planted, during clearance operations in 1945 by 11th Company, Bomb Disposal, Royal engineers. High pressure water jetting was used to displace shingle on top of mines to make clearance easier. Notably during this period two German spies who had been dropped by U-boat in the Moray Firth were arrested at Nairn Railway Station attempting to board a train to Inverness.
The A96 from Inverness to Aberdeen currently passes through Nairn town itself. Fergus Ewing, Scottish National Party MSP for Inverness and Nairn (and before 2011 Inverness East, Nairn and Lochaber), has been canvassing for a Nairn by-pass to be developed. Nairn Improvement Community Enterprise was formed in 2010 as a company limited by guarantee to facilitate the regeneration of Nairn Town Centre and its surrounding areas and membership is open to all residents.
The town also hosts the Nairn International Jazz Festival. Nairn is also the host for the annual Nairn Book & Arts festival which takes place every year in June at the Nairn Community & Arts Centre. Nairn is home to the Little Theatre, run by the Nairn Drama Club, which was established in 1946. Nairn stages one of the biggest Highland games in the North.

Lossie graphics Gun emplacement
During World War II, defences were built round the coast of Britain. As part of our Forest Heritage Scotland project, we're finding out more about the built heritage, including defences, hidden within Scotland's national forests. This is a 3D fly-through animation (from a laser scan) of one of the gun emplacements at Lossie Forest, in Moray. Nearby, there are also anti-tank cubes, pillboxes and anti-glider poles (at Culbin). If you have a story about these defences, please let us know on forestheritagescotland.com
