note that Elgin is not generally considered a city (except possibly by its inhabitants).
Please note that Elgin falls within common Scottish ideas that if a town contains a church with two spires, then it may be called a city. The- although crumbling cathedral allows for this verification for Elgin city. As for the inhabitants- we all thought it was more of a town when I was born and raised there until it has become much larger today — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.104.126 ( talk) 11:46, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
as for someone wanting a source on large chunks of the population being shipped off to canada, just google for the highland clearances. elgin castle WAS demolished after the 1745 jacobite rebellion, i never said it was used before then. just because it was derelict that didnt mean it wasnt partially defensible and a threat.
Morayshire and Moray council area cover greatly different areas; I think that both categories are appropriate. 80.255 01:43, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
The Notable citizens section of the article is IMO getting over-big and is way to dense to be comfortable reading. Can I recommend the following changes be made / principles folloed:
The article is abot Elgin. 25% of the text of the article is dedicated to descriptions of people, not Elgin. The people should be described within their own articles, not here.
I may come back & implement the above, but thought I'd put it up for discussion first. -- Tagishsimon (talk) 02:53, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Also I'd urge that names are not emboldened, fullstop. -- Tagishsimon (talk)
A name for removal as of insufficient significance for an encyclopaedia. Who is Joe Lennon, a musician born in Elgin in 1940? I can't find anything about him on Google. There is a Joe Lennon from Elgin, Illinois, USA, although I think he was born later and there is a much younger musician from Glasgow of the name. truthordare ( talk) 20:43, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
How do you pronounce the name of this city? Is the g hard as in goat or soft as in gem? - Rrius ( talk) 03:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
In the film "Brave", the actor Kevin McKidd, from Elgin, uses a dialect or language from this area, that's uninteligible to persons that understand only english. Could someone, please, write something about it or give a link to an article about that language? Thank you. 95.93.142.130 ( talk) 01:57, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
Looking at the temperature chart, I should this it gets bone-chilling cold in winter! Are you certain that "mild" is the word? Was this article written by a Siberian? ( EnochBethany ( talk) 04:39, 19 March 2014 (UTC))

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Elgin, Moray/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
i think that Elgin can stand a good chance of acquiring B status, if certain things, like for instance, adding more references; spilting the history section into sub-sections (with one for the birth of the cathedral with a link onto that page); removing the culture and leisure section and the list of churches in the religion section with a complete re-write for the latter. plus adding a town centre section/sub-section and sorting out the the info in the box Kilnburn ( talk) 13:43, 21 June 2008 (UTC) |

My suggestion. Thx
Add text to describe and highlight the Plainstones. Add hyperlink.
A more spacious market area for traders was created when the Plainstones were laid out in 1787. However, it wasn’t until 1851 that, with the building of the New Market, traders had the benefit of a covered market.
