Cultural Quarter Walking Tour – Grant Lodge and Elgin Town Hall

The Cultural Quarter is transforming two iconic heritage buildings in Elgin and the spaces in between to create a connected, accessible and inspirational cultural centre. Plans are underway to bring Grant Lodge back into use, creating a high quality heritage venue which is accessible and open to the public, a celebration of Moray’s rich heritage and a first point of call for local people and visitors to the region. Join us at Grant Lodge on Doors Open Day for a walking tour of the Cultural Quarter ending with a guided tour of Elgin Town Hall. Learn more about the history of these beautiful buildings, the plans for the future, see behind the scenes at Elgin Town Hall and chat to the team working on these exciting redevelopments.

Findhorn Ice House & Heritage Centre

Come and explore the underground chambers where ice was used to pack the fresh salmon en route to London. Find out where the ice came from in the 19th Century prior to the invention of refrigerators, and learn more from our various displays about the salmon fishing industry in the village. The Heritage Centre hosts a collection of memorabilia and photographs telling the history and past times of Findhorn Village. A display of WW2 artefacts found by a metal detectorist near the back shore relate to the D-day practice landings in 1943 and 1944 along the Moray Coast Beaches. There is a regularly updated sightings board listing what birds to look out for around the Bay.
