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.

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.

Sadly, some of the new owners have altered their windows, which has destroyed the unity and symmetry of the original design.

Nelson Square
The centre of Nelson Square is occupied by a play area, depressingly deserted at quarter to six in the evening on a dry sunny schoolday.

Nelson Square
In the background are the houses on Hermes Road. Nelson Square is a gap between Lossiemouth Road and Hermes Road, but there is no direct access from it to Lossiemouth Road, which keeps it relatively free of traffic. The large sign used to say that the play area is for use of children under 14, and lists equipment and activities which are forbidden, but many of the letters have fallen off, giving it a rather scruffy appearance.
