Details about William Watson Funeral Director, Elgin's only family-owned, family-run funeral directors

After the death of a loved-one you are going to face some tough, challenging decisions. And whilst not as complicated as some websites would have you believe, arranging a funeral does require preparation and planning. Our family-run business has been serving families in the Elgin and Moray area for over 40 years. And unlike some of the larger, national cooperatives out there, this small, independent company understands the value of listening.

Well done Quines!
Scottish women’s league one champions⚽️🍾🏆

16/05/2026

Last match of the season, with so much riding on it, please make sure you, if possible, are there supporting the team.
Bring all family and friends you can, on what could be the biggest day in our History.
We know Queen of the South will be a tough test for us, but we have to go into this believing we can do it as we are so close.

Gleaner - Lets pack it out, 300 last week, can we get more this week ?
Moray Mound - Moray Girls Football Club will take this over, but Girls, bring a friend as well, make so much noise they can hear you in New Elgin !!

If, we do it....
Representatives from the SWF and our League sponsors, Barclays, will be attending, so there will be a presentation after the game, on the pitch (quickly if its raining) then upstairs where we will have further celebrations.

"North of Scotland and Proud to be"
