- Longmorn
Longmorn is a village in
Moray ,Scotland , famous for its maltwhisky distilleries. It lies approximately two and a halfmile ssouth of Elgin on the main road from Elgin toRothes .This village was once a small
railway junction, and the beginning of theBirnie Distillery rail spur; the now disused Elgin toCraigellachie line then continued south toAviemore and beyond. The station and platform still survive and are in good condition. While the station house is lived in, the track is long gone. There are currently moves to clear the track to create acycle path that would link Elgin to theSpeyside Way atCraigellachie and from there toAviemore and theNational Cycle Network .Most of the village is taken up by the
BenRiach Distillery (reopened2004 ), and the Longmorn Distillery. Relatively few people are employed in them and the village is mainly a dormitory of Elgin.
