The River Spey, famed both for its salmon and for its distilleries, flows almost a hundred miles, from the Monadhliath Mountains, past the Cairngorms to the Moray Firth.

The Speyside Way official long-distance trail, offers easy walking on good paths and along disused railway lines. It runs for 66 miles from Aviemore to the old port of Buckie on the Moray coast, together with a 20-mile extension back to Newtonmore it makes a perfect easy week’s walk. Experienced walkers will also be able to reach the source of the river to follow it all the way downstream on various good routes.

This guidebook also describes routes to the source of the Spey and linking routes to other official trails – the Dava Way and the Moray Coast Trail.

Many sections of the three trails are also suitable for mountain bikes and information for cyclists is also included.
