What's of interest
The Elginia Trail which starts from the car park takes you past Cutties Hillock, a Site of Special Scientific Interest because of the 250 millon year old fossil reptiles that were found here in the nineteenth century. A large collection of these fossils and the fascinating story of their importance can be found in the Elgin Museum.
