Elgin Scotland | My Travels

Located within a walking distance from St. Giles square and shopping center, this historical delight is a true treasure to behold! Walking around the perimeter gives attest to its stunning beauty and size but walking within the ruins is breath taking! the stones and chiseling is indescribable–chiseling into one’s eye and mind the craftsmanship and intricacy.

There are effigagies, stone markers, a monk’s scribing area–and while I did my best to stay out of the way, there was also a wedding going on while I was there–and so many handsome men in kilts!

A simple walk and I stumbled across a gated community Biblical Garden here in Elgin. It’s blooms, despite being mid-to-late fall are still abundant and fragrant, cascading over the walls and embankments of their containers and garden beds, yet leaving the pathways accessible.

There are stone placquards across the garden,interlaced with statues and carvings. Upon one statue, where the disciples hands are out-stretched, a person has left a blanket/throw for someone in need–an offering!

I am unsure if the gardens are open all year long but it was a wonderful place to reflect, enjoy my coffee, and commune.
