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.

A lovely property with a spacious park. A lovely place to stop for a rest. More information at National Trust Scotland https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/brodie-castle

Nelson's Tower can be reached via beautiful forest paths. From the top you have a beautiful view of Findhorn Bay.

The castle was first mentioned in documents in 1160, the current building dates from 1567. The small, pretty castle is worth a visit, as are the parks. There is a café right next to the castle. There is a rather elegant and large shop, Brodie Countryfair, with a large restaurant on the street by the car park. The restaurant also offers smaller meals and we can highly recommend it.

Bridge over the Avon from 1745, where a military road used to lead. Here is also the entrance gate with tower house to Ballindalloch Castle

Lovely cafe with home baking open certain days - please check.

The ancestral seat of the earls of Moray Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority. He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.

Duffus Castle, near Elgin, Moray, Scotland, was a motte-and-bailey castle and was in use from c. 1140 to 1705. During its occupation it underwent many alterations. The most fundamental was the destruction of the original wooden structure and its replacement with one of stone. At the time of its establishment, it was one of the most secure fortifications in Scotland. At the death of the 2nd Lord Duffus in 1705, the castle had become totally unsuitable as a dwelling and so was abandoned.
