Speyside and the Cairngorms

From whisky‑making to salmon fishing, the River Spey winds from the Cairngorms to the sea, shaping one of Scotland’s most beautiful regions.

​

The Spey flows along the edge of the rugged Cairngorm Mountains before reaching the Morayshire coast, carving a landscape rich in history, wildlife, and tradition.

​

The shallow valley - or strath, as we call it in Scotland - creates a rare pocket of fertile land in the Highlands, perfect for growing our most important crop - barley.

​

Throughout history, this area has been prized as the ‘breadbasket of Scotland’. Although, of course, it’s not bread we make with our barley…

​

Whisky heaven awaits you as we wind our way through this remarkable region.

Our tours give you the opportunity to visit some of the world’s most famous Scotch distilleries, set amongst scenery as rich and warm as the spirit itself.

​

And if whisky isn’t your thing, don’t worry - the Spey offers far more than a dram. From riverside walks to charming towns and breathtaking Highland views, there’s something here for everyone.
