If you want to visit a distillery then call in to Benromach in Forres. You'll find it on your left as you drive along the Forres bypass.
Further along the A96 you'll come to Elgin with its ancient cathedral dating back
to the 13th Century - now in ruins. Alongside the Cathedral is the Biblical garden which may be worth a visit. Also in Elgin you'll find the famous Johnstone's of Elgin knitwear factory outlet.
