The area around Elgin.
Elgin is the cathedral city of Moray and the shopping and services centre for a wide area of whisky distilleries, farms and coastal villages. RAF Lossiemouth nearby brings service families who move in regularly without any local contacts, and the cashmere mill and distillery trade add visitors. That turnover of newcomers makes being findable on Google especially valuable, and a site that names Lossiemouth, Lhanbryde and Fochabers as well as Elgin reaches the whole catchment.
Buckie (13 miles) and Keith (15 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. A longer drive takes in Huntly (24 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Bishopmill, New Elgin, Lossiemouth, Lhanbryde, Fochabers and Birnie: if you work in particular parts of Elgin, those names belong on the site.
From our base in Exeter, Elgin is about 479 miles to the north. Its postcodes start IV.
