Farm machinery and fuel stores need watching when nobody is around. In town, Tyock, Moycroft and Linkwood industrial estates empty out at night, and nightclubs such as Downtown USA and Joanna's bring an evening trade to the centre. Crime statistics for Scotland come from Police Scotland, so our free audit fills that gap for you. - Rural patrols for Moray's large farming sector - Solar CCTV towers where there is no mains power - Door supervisors for Elgin's nightclubs - Key holding across Tyock and Pinefield estates Get a Quote [View Elgin on OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Elgin%2C%20Morayshire,%20Scotland) Elgin Business Profile ## Moray's business profile in figures Moray has 3,115 registered businesses. Agriculture is the largest sector with 595, ahead of construction at 495 and professional services at 300. Farming's 19.1% share compares with 4.5% nationally, and the motor trade also runs above average at 4.5% against 3%. Those numbers favour a patrol-led approach. A mobile officer can check several farm steadings, a garage forecourt and an estate unit in one route, logging each stop by GPS. Where a site cannot be visited often, solar CCTV towers, monitored via an NSI Gold accredited monitoring centre, fill the gaps. Every officer is SIA-licensed and BS 7858 vetted. 3,115 Registered businesses in Moray 39 Warehouse buildings mapped within 5 km 16 Active construction sites mapped within 5 km 19 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Industrial and retail sites around Elgin - **Industrial & business parks:** Tyock Industrial Estate, Moycroft Industrial Estate, Pinefield Industrial Estate, Linkwood Industrial Estate, Troves Industrial Estate and Gordon & Macphail - **Retail parks & shopping centres:** Elgin Retail Park and Springfield Retail Park - **Hospitals:** Dr Gray's Hospital - **Rail stations:** Elgin ### Venues & Martyn's Law Borough Briggs, The Moray Conference Centre and the Moray Playhouse draw audiences, and events and venues for 200 or more people will have Martyn's Law duties once they begin.

Rather than leave a gap or estimate, we suggest a site-specific assessment. A Go Security assessor will visit your farm, unit or shop without charge, a visit we value at £250, and work through our 25-point risk checklist. You get a written note covering access, lighting, alarms and cameras, with practical recommendations for each weak point found. Local Policing ## Who polices Elgin Elgin falls under Police Scotland.
