Impressive new distillery building, very architectural. Haven't sampled the whisky though.

Elgin Cathedral, a historic ruin in northeast Scotland, was dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It was established in 1224 on land granted by King Alexander II and stood outside the burgh of Elgin, close to the River Lossie. It replaced the cathedral at Spynie located 3 kilometres (2 mi) to the north, which was served by a small chapter of eight clerics. By 1226, the new and developing cathedral was staffed with 18 canons, a number that increased to 23 by 1242. A damaging fire in 1270 led to significant enlargement. It remained unscathed during the Wars of Scottish Independence but suffered extensive fire damage in 1390 when attacked by Robert III's brother Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, also known as the Wolf of Badenoch. In 1402, the cathedral precinct faced another incendiary attack by the Lord of the Isles followers.

Not sure why someone is saying there's a charge. It's 100% free to enter. The Biblical Garden sits between the medieval Elgin Cathedral dating back to the 13th century and Cooper Park which was gifted to Elgin by Colonel George A Cooper in 1903. This wonderful garden has 110 stunning plants with Biblical references.

Didn't go into the grounds of the cathedral but was pretty satisfied with the views afforded from the paths around it. Plenty of street parking around the Cathedral.

Excellent cakes here. The Victoria Sponge was excellent, and this place oozes charm. Sausage in a soft brown roll also did the job mid ride!
