Harrison Terrace
This row of houses is a Category B listed building. It was designed by John P M Wright in 1947, and building commenced in 1949. The arched doorways recall the arched 'piazzas' which formerly lined the High Street in Elgin, but have mostly been lost. The houses were built by Elgin Town Council, and demonstrate that it is possible to build attractive council housing in traditional style. The row is named after Provost Edward Harrison, who was keen to incorporate traditional vernacular elements. Sadly, some of the new owners have altered their windows, which has destroyed the unity and symmetry of the original design.

Lossiemouth Road
On the right as one heads towards Lossiemouth is Harrison Terrace. This is where the speed limit increases from 30 to 40 mph, rather surprisingly because there are still large residential areas on both sides of the road.

Cooper Park, Elgin
The Cooper Park was gifted to the people of Elgin by George Cooper in 1903. The boating pond is popular in summer. Though it was originally intended as a skating pond, the authorities now discourage skating for safety reasons.

Rising Sun Pub, Elgin
A real ruff'n'ready museum piece of a place. Can't have changed any since the 1930s. A great antidote to modern plastic pubs.
