Moray (Elginshire)

Moray’s mix of coastal towns, rural landscapes, and a world-renowned whisky industry makes it a unique property market. Elgin, the largest town, remains a focal point for housing demand, with a mix of traditional stone properties and new developments catering to a growing population. Forres and Lossiemouth also attract steady interest, with their scenic coastal settings and strong local economies. Further east, Keith and Buckie offer more affordable options while remaining well connected to employment centres. Rural areas, particularly along the Speyside whisky trail, continue to draw buyers looking for countryside homes with access to Moray’s distilleries, outdoor pursuits, and growing tourism sector.

The whisky industry plays a key role in Moray’s commercial property market, with demand for industrial space and warehousing linked to production and exports. Elgin supports a growing retail and business sector, while tourism-related enterprises in towns like Aberlour and Dufftown continue to expand. Renewables and food production are also seeing increased investment.
