Moray Tourist Information
Welcome to Moray ...
The home of Malt Whisky, Moray is a beautiful corner of Scotland set between the Cairngorm Mountains and the sandy coastline of the Moray Firth.
With over 50 distilleries in the county, including those in the world-renowned Speyside area, the malt whisky trail takes in such famous names as Glenlivet and Glenfiddich. Dufftown is most prolific whisky-producing town, with 7 distilleries based in this one small settlement.
The river Spey is also famed for its excellent salmon and trout fishing, thanks to its fast-flowing waters, fed by snow melt from the Cairngorms.
Elgin is the largest town in Moray, with a dramatic ruined 13th century cathedral known as the Lantern of the North due to the distinctive shape of its beautiful surviving structures.
On the coast, there are sandy beaches in abundance and attractive fishing ports such as Buckie and Lossiemouth, both popular with visitors looking for a traditional British seaside experience.
Moray benefits from some beautiful unspoilt scenery perfect for walking, and an abundance of wildlife - such as wild dolphins in the Moray Firth and native protected species such as otter, osprey and pine martin inland towards the mountains.
This is also Macbeth country. This 11th century monarch ruled Moray before becoming King of Scotland. Many scenes from Shakespeare's play are set in the area, including at Forres and Elgin.
