Person
Born in New Zealand, Jenny Main has lived in Elgin for most of her life, having moved to England with her mother at the age of two. She has produced three previous books of photographs of Elgin and has edited the Moray Field Club Bulletin for many years, which she says has given her a greater insight into the history and natural history of the area. She was also encouraged in this interest by her late husband, who was president of the Moray Society, the charity which runs the Elgin Museum.
