Mosset Park is home to Forres Mechanics FC, who play in the Highland League. The ground lies right by the A 95.

We happened to pass it on our trip up north in July 2024, so of course I had to stop to photograph it.  It looks tidy enough but I’ve not been inside.

Mosset Park, Forres:-

You know I like bridges.

This one could be seen from Sueno’s Stone. It’s a pedestrian one across the A 96.

In Forres itself there was this impressive church, St Leonard’s:-

And an Art Deco style shop with great upper glazing and, partial “sunburst” metalwork on the roofline:-

From Findhorn it was on to Forres, only five miles away.

We’d been to Forres before but our main objective this time was to see Sueno’s Stone, since we hadn’t visited it the last time.

Sueno’s Stone from car park:-

As you can see the stone is covered in glass to protect it from the elements.

Information board:-

The stone is enormous, 21 feet high and inscribed with Pictish symbols:-

A further board gives information about Pictish symbol stones:-

Kinloss Abbey was the largest Cistercian Monastery in the north of Scotland. Its ruins lie about three miles east of Forres.
