Moray Council is warning people not to walk or skate on the pond at Cooper Park in Elgin.

Now the council has issued a warning to anyone tempted to skate on the thin ice. A statement said: “We’re hearing that some folk are taking the snow fun a bit too far and are trying to skate on Cooper Park pond. “This is not a good idea.
