RAF Lossiemouth

Highlight • Structure

Now the only RAF base in Scotland.

The airfield opened in 1939 and was operated by the RAF, predominantly as part of Bomber Command, until 1946 when it transferred to the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) and became known as RNAS Lossiemouth or HMS Fulmar. Lossiemouth was used as a training station by the FAA until it was handed back to the RAF in September 1972, after which it has largely operated as a fast-jet base.

Lake in Cooper Park

Highlight • Lake

Elgin Cathedral Ruins

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the 1224 built cathedral are only ruins. The two towers have been renovated and are now used as showrooms. From the upper platform you have a nice view over the cathedral and the city.
The entrance fee is quite high at 7.50 GBP. If we had not had the Historic Scotland Explorer Pass, which already included the entrance, we would have saved the visit and looked at the grounds only from the outside. By the way, the Explorer Pass (visitbritainshop.com/germany/historic-scotland-explorer-pass/) is highly recommended if you are planning to visit several historic sites.
