Details Former drill hall, now part of Elgin Library. The Cowper (now Cooper) Park drill hall was purpose built and in use by 1908. It is a large building with crow-stepped gables and transepts, one of which is extended and has a bartizan at the corner. Behind, there is a two-storey block with dormers, with a tower in the angle of the hall and transept. In 1914-18, it was the base for 'E' Squadron, 2nd Scottish Horse and housed the HQ and 'B' and 'C' Companies of the 6th battalion Seaforth Highlanders. A memorial plaque (NJ26SW0175) to the Seaforth Highlander is located on the wall of the Library.
