... almost two days in fact. We booked Cupar into the kennels for the night, and set off east - the west coast is too busy with tourists at this time of year! I had booked a B&B in Elgin, but we spent most of day one in Burghead and Lossiemouth. We have never visited these places before, and found plenty to keep us occupied as we explored the streets and harbours. It was pleasing to find a number of information plaques which explained a bit about some local history and places of interest.
Later, we arrived in Elgin to check in to our B&B and have an evening meal in the town. Next morning, we had a fairly brief wander through the town centre, and also walked round the ruins of the massive cathedral. We probably spent most time in the beautiful Biblical Garden. This features many of the plants which are mentioned in the Bible, together with plaques giving Bible quotes mentioning plants. The garden is beautifully maintained. It is a community project, managed by Moray Council.
Next week, I make one of my regular trips south, staying in Devon and Hampshire, visiting friends and family, but this time, Sue and Cupar will be staying home.
