Alves, Elgin, IV30 8FE

Elgin, Moray, is a historic town and formerly a royal burgh in Moray, Scotland. It serves as the administrative and commercial centre for the region. The town originated to the south of the River Lossie on higher ground above the floodplain where the town of Birnie is located. In that area, the church of Birnie Kirk was built in 1140 and still serves the community. The town’s heritage and role as a centre of local governance and commerce give it character and a sense of continuity. Residents benefit from a setting that blends historic architecture with modern administrative functions, and the proximity to the River Lossie adds to the town’s scenic appeal.
