Route Description    
   

Buckie - Fochabers
Starting at the fishing port of Buckie on the Moray Firth, you will walk along an old coastal railway before emerging near Spey Bay. From here the way follows riverside tracks and paths into Fochabers.

Fochabers - Craigellachie
Today is easy walking on woodland paths, minor roads and forest tracks with gentle climbing in Ben Aigen forest. You will be rewarded by good views over the Spey Valley. Craigellachie lies in the heart of the malt whisky country and is today's destination.

Craigellachie - Dufftown - Craigellachie
Today you will head out on the beautiful circular trail of Dufftown spur. The famous Glenfiddich Distillery and the splendid countryside are worthwhile.

Craigellachie - Ballindalloch
Again easy walking on a disused railway line through mixed scenery of wooded valley, riverside and farmland. At Aberlour there is a distillery that can be visited.

Ballindalloch - Grantown-on-Spey
A rougher and more challenging walk today with good views. There are lovely pinewoods between Cromdale and Grantown-on-Spey, a small town with fine stone buildings.

Grantown-on-Spey - Aviemore
Today is easy walking using a mixture of disused railway lines, forest roads and unsurfaced tracks, amongst farmland, woodland and moorland of Strathspey. If the distance proves too much you can take the train from the Boat of Garten for the last 6 miles. There are good views to be enjoyed.
