Lewis, J. H., ed. (2002). Spynie Palace and the Bishops of Moray:. Edinburgh: Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.

The ruins of Spynie Palace near Elgin are a survival largely from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; however the site was a bishop's residence for a much longer period from the twelfth to the seventeenth centuries, and archaeological excavations, coupled with historical research, have illuminated the way in which the palace buildings and defences developed through several centuries. The report on the excavations includes a historical introduction covering the bishopric and bishop's residence from 1120 to 1973; the excavation of the palace enclosure and surrounding area, including towers and the curtain wall. Specialist reports on finds include coins, jetons and other numismatica; small finds of metal, stone and bone; prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval pottery; window and vessel glass; clay tobacco pipes; leather and textiles; architectural fragments and building materials; burnt and industrial debris; faunal remains (mammals, fish, birds and marine molluscs; and dendrochronology of timbers. The report concludes with a general discussion of the site and the palace at different periods of its history, and appendices cover the furnishing of the palace in the seventeenth century, and the cache of objects in the watergate passage. Includes a glossary, and French, German and Spanish summaries.
