In the Cabins brochure folder there are numerous pamphlets on the main tourist attractions, most of which are well worth a visit, however I have compiled a further list which can be tied in with some of the other excursions I have suggested in this folder. Elgin Elgin Cathedral & Biblical Garden - The semi-ruined Lantern O the North with a fascinating history, and a beautifully landscaped garden depicting scenes from the bible. Spynie Palace - The semi ruined Bishops Palace for the above Cooper Park - A large park in the centre of town, with a good children`s play area and boating pond. Johnstons Woollen Mill - An excellent tweed, wool and cashmere factory with very good quality retail outlet and café. Leisure Centre - Swimming Pool, Ice Rink, Gymnasium and Café Elgin Museum - An outstanding example of its kind. Forres Grant Park and Sunken Garden. These multi award winning floral displays are well worth a visit, as are the many other floral attractions spread around this lovely town. Falconer Museum - Situated inside the Tolbooth Randolfs Leap – Spectacular gorge. Take the A940 south out of Forres. After 5½ miles turn right onto the B9007 signposted Carrbridge. Randolfs Leap is about 1 mile ahead. Superb river walks – also see Swimming Holes (4). Culbin Forest and Sands. See Woodland Walks (2) Keith, Dufftown, Rothes, Craigellachie and Aberlour. These are all predominantly whisky producing towns and are covered in the Distilleries Section.
