Thank you to Springfield Properties Ltd for allowing me access and for giving me permission to photograph and report this place. Also a big thank you for allowing me access to the old buildings whenever I need them for my own photo shoots and for when I am photographing models. :)
I noticed an old building when near Asda and was on the phone to Wurzel at the time and asked him what it was, he told me it was Old Elgin Train Station, I wanted to explore and he suggested asking the folks who use the buildings. Inside now has a few small businesses using the place. I didn't think I'd be allowed but I explained that I Explore/model/photographer and would be interested in exploring, documenting and reporting the place and using it as a backdrop more than once so they gave me the owners number to phone. I phoned him, that's fine, just give him credit every time I use the place. That to me is fine, that's a small price to pay. :)

Elgin Station, rebuilt 1902 by the Great North of Scotland Rly. An elaborate through and terminal station with the main offices on the down side in a two-storey and attic ashlar block, basically on an H plan, with wings at both ends. Now closed to passengers, though the goods yard, with wooden shed, is still in use.

This station was opened as the terminal station of the Morayshire Rly. (serving branches along the Moray coast) on 10 August 1852. It was incorporated into the Great North of Scotland Rly. and closed to regular passenger traffic at an unspecified date.
