The Speyside Way

Jacquetta Megarry and Jim Strachan

The Speyside Way runs for 80 miles (129 km) from the fishing port of Buckie to Aviemore in the foothills of the Cairngorms. Following the lovely valley of the River Spey, you walk through countryside rich in malt whisky and wildlife, along riverside paths, railway trackbed and forest and moorland tracks.

This fully revised edition of the essential trail guide has new mapping from Footprint in five panels, and fresh plans of villages along the Speyside Way, including Aviemore. The book is co-authored by the Speyside Way Route Manager, and contains all you need to plan and enjoy your holiday:

• the Way step-by-step, with summaries of distance, terrain and refreshment stops
• other walks including the Badenoch Way and Dufftown circuit
• habitats and wildlife, including dolphin, osprey and wildcat
• expanded coverage of whisky-making and distilleries
• planning information for travel by car, train, bus or plane
• in full colour, with over 65 photographs
• drop-down map showing the Speyside Way, plus Tomintoul spur (1:100,000)
• waterproof paper throughout.
