The Speyside Way
The Speyside Way follows the splendid River Spey as it passes by spectacular scenery, wonderful wildlife and fascinating history. The trail finally reaches the bustling highland resort of Aviemore nestling in the magnificent Cairngorm National Park. If you enjoy Malt Whisky this is the ideal holiday for you as there are many Distilleries on the Way.
You can extend your holiday on the existing Way by walking the Dufftown Spur (6 miles/9.5 km) and visit the Glenfiddich Distillery, where the world famous single malt whisky is distilled. You are then transferred back to your accommodation in Craigellachie for a second overnight stay. Alternatively you can also choose to walk back to Craigellachie (6 miles/9.5 km).
