Worth a visit: From here you have a beautiful view over Elgin and, in good weather, you can even see the Speyside River. The few remaining remains of Old Elgin Castle are still there.

Hiking

Ladyhill is the site of what was once Elgin Castle built by David I and has remained a ruin since the 15th century. A separate monument now stands on the hill, next to the ruins. The hill makes a fine viewpoint over Elgin. There are steep steps to ascent from the main street, but a steadier gravel path traverses the side of the hill for a more gradual approach.
