A property marked as Mr Winchesters is shown on the attached John Wood Plan of Elgin (https://maps.nls.uk/view/74400028).  See under the "G" in High Street.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
