This castle was built in 1140 AD and is the best-preserved example of a 12th-century moat-and-bailey style structure.

Duffus castle is loved by kids, a castle ruin that they can climb over and big hills to roll down along with the moat that surrounds it, a great place to visit and take a picnic and kite to on a nice day, parking is ok, although can be busy in the summer months and only a single track road in and out !!

Elgin Cathedral is now open and we are delighted to welcome you back. Booking in advance is essential. Find out more and book at restarthistory.scot. Elgin Cathedral, also known as the ‘Lantern of the North’ is a majestic, historic ruin situated in Elgin. Elgin Cathedral is one of Scotland’s most beautiful medieval buildings, dating back to the 13th century. Elgin Cathedral has a rich history - it was badly fire damaged in 1390 following an attack by Robert III's brother Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, who was also known as the ‘Wolf of Badenoch’. The two towers of the West Front and the Chapter House are intact and open to the public and the climb is rewarded with magnificent views of the town of Elgin. The top of the tower has an open viewing platform with information boards highlighting the visible landmarks.

A very interesting place lots of history and lots of information about the place there are lots of artefacts of the cathedral around there are approx 3 flights of challenging steps going up into the towers well worth it for the views but not suitable for people with mobility issues instead there is a room at the bottom that has a computer with all the information as is in the towers this is brilliant I want able to do the stairs so used that it was brill. The grounds are well kept and lots of information boards around. The shop is well stocked and the gentleman in was so friendly and helpful. Toilets very clean This is definitely a place to visit

Reviewed By CulbinSands - Elgin, United Kingdom
Ideal location for a health walk being only 4 from Elgin, with a fairly large car park and picnic area . The path which is centred around two interconnected lochs is sheltered, fairly dry but uneven in places, with some exposed tree roots, muddy sections and slight inclines, but nothing too difficult. No special footwear is required. However there are no toilets at or close to the location other than what nature provides. The distance from the carpark around both lochs and back is about 4500 steps and benches , to rest or contemplate the lochs, are situated at intervals along the path. On the whole it is more beneficial than a stroll round the park.

A hidden gem by the side of Elgin Cathedral, a beautiful oasis of peace and tranquillity with some amazing plants, shrubs and trees, along with some very interesting sculptures. Well worth a visit.
