Photo of happy folk about to have a charabanc journey (1920s?) Elgin?

[Calleva]

Found this photo (1920s?) from a family source in Elgin showing a group of mainly happy looking folk of differing ages looking like they’re about to take a journey on a charabanc. I’m guessing Elgin but with no proof, unfortunately there is nothing on the back to help.

I would just like to share the photo and if anyone knows the occasion or (appreciate a very long shot) recognises anyone, that would be great!

Thank you very much!

It is most likely to be 1930s as that is when the cloche hats were a slightly different as they had a brim.

The vehicle looks similar to the 1929 Daimler CF6 coach in Edinburgh below:

Are the spiky things in the background at upper left trees or spires?

I think they are spires and it looks like there is a statue which looks like a soldier, unless I'm seeing things

Brilliant, thank you Tony for identifying a likely candidate for the bus which validates Carol’s view of the occasion being in the 1930s.

Also I had never thought to investigate whether the pointed features are part of a building but I think I can see a gable end as well as finials, possibly a spire too? Very first thought was Holy Trinity Church. Elgin -

but I don’t think it has a spire so I think a red herring.

Thanks again both for such brilliant observations and deductions.

There seem to be 4 small spires but Holy Trinity has only 2 small spires.

Thank you Forfarian, I agree Holy Trinity Church does not look likely so will eliminate from further enquiries.

I had a look through https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ2162 and https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/NJ2163 but didn't see anything else with similar spires.
