What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Elgin, Lady Hill as Cross (early Medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Linked to a pre-Christian or early Christian tradition, Lady Hill in Elgin may have been a site of ritual significance, potentially associated with local legends or veneration of a saint not clearly recorded. The presence of a cross suggests possible Christianization of an earlier sacred location.
