Another name for the town of Aberlour is Charlestown of Aberlour. It is located in Moray, Scotland and is about 12 miles from the town of Elgin. The town is home to about 1000 friendly people who will certainly make you feel welcome whenever you choose to visit. The full name of the town comes from its founder, Charles Grant of Wester Elchies who laid out the plan for Aberlour in 1812. The High Street is a mile long and has a square located to the west. This town replaced the earlier community of Skirdustan and all that remains of it today are the ruins of St. Drostan's Kirk. One of the noteworthy buildings in Aberlour is the orphanage founded in 1875 by a minister by the name of Charles Jupp. He is buried in St. Margaret's Episcopal Church, which was the church that the children of the orphanage attended. There were separate sections of the building for boys and girls and the common school was located between them.
