Elgin Farmers' Market
Last updated 15 May 2026
Elgin is the de facto capital of Speyside, and its monthly farmers market reflects the surrounding agricultural richness — Moray beef, Speyside honey, north-east vegetables, and smoked fish from the Moray Firth coast. The market is held in the Plainstones area of the town centre and draws producers from Moray, Banffshire, and the fringes of Speyside. Combine with a visit to Gordon & MacPhail's shop on South Street (the independent bottler's retail headquarters) for whisky, then the market for everything else.
