Elgin is a historic cathedral city and former royal burgh in Moray, Scotland. The city's history dates back to the Middle Ages when it was an important ecclesiastical center, dominated by the magnificent Elgin Cathedral, now a dramatic ruined monument. The cathedral, often referred to as the 'Lantern of the North,' was one of Scotland's most impressive medieval buildings before its destruction in 1390.

Today, Elgin serves as the administrative and commercial center for the Moray region. The city maintains a rich cultural heritage visible in its historic architecture, including the medieval street pattern of the High Street and the remains of Elgin Castle. The area is also known for its role in Scotland's whisky industry, with several famous distilleries in the surrounding region. The city houses several cultural institutions and museums that preserve and showcase the area's history and traditions.
