The following is a list of accommodation within Elgin that we have put together based on those available online. Walking times have been provided from the accommodations from both the event hotel, The Laichmoray Hotel, and the ice rink within Moray Leisure Centre (none are over 1 mile away from either venue). Times are courtesy of Google Maps and may vary depending on your walking speed! All are accessible by vehicle. If you find that any are unavailable for the event weekend, please let us know so that we can update the page. Thanks.

The 6th Moray International Bonspiel will be held at Moray Leisure Centre, Elgin, on the weekend of 4th, 5th and 6th April 2014.
We look to build on from the 5th Moray International Bonspiel and are looking at extending the teams to 20 or 30 teams for 2014. As every year it is going to be a sociable, fun, curling weekend just outside the season where everyone can let their hair down and have some good old fashioned fun - both on and off the ice!
We are looking at having 20 or 30 teams for 2014
...
We are looking at starting the Curling at 1200 hours on Friday, and the last games will finish around 1700 on Sunday with the prize giving as soon as possible afterwards.
We will be running the bar ourselves again in 2014, and we will be looking for you to tell us what you want us to stock - you will be able to add this to your entry form when you send it in nice and early with your £80 deposit. The earlier your entry form, the more chance you have of us stocking your chosen drinks!
Entry forms available to download from website morayinternationalbonspiel.com, or can be obtained by contacting morayinterbonspiel [at] hotmail.co.uk (morayinterbonspiel[at]hotmail[dot]co[dot]uk)
Entries from both teams and individuals are welcome, 7 games of curling will be guaranteed, evening meal on Saturday, plus a Disco on Saturday night. The entry is reduced for teams of 3 or more juniors (18 or under) and is also subject to overall reduction as per 2013 depending on sponsorship obtained.
The usual excellent raffle will be held on Saturday.
For this travelling from afar, Inverness and Aberdeen airports are closest and both have good rail links to Elgin.
