If you wish to make the climb up Lady Hill the panoramic view is well worth it. This is a beautiful town full of old gorgeous buildings. Just six miles from the town centre of Elgin is the Pluscarden Abbey. This is a medieval monastery and what is so unique about this monastery is that it is still being used for the purpose in which it was intended. Monks still reside there.
The monastery was actually founded many years ago in 1230. In 1948 the abbey was then donated to a little group of Benedictine Monks. You can even take a virtual tour of the abbey. The monks that are there now are actually internet friendly. It is also open to visitors daily and admission is free. Taking a tour of a monastery has got to be an amazing experience.
