The River Spey is renowned worldwide not only for its peaty water, cherished by distillers, but also for its superb salmon fishing.

Anglers from across the globe visit the Spey in pursuit of “the elusive one,” which often seems to “slip away.”

For those with time and a passion for railways, a visit to the Speyside Steam Railway can be included. This railway, reconstructed by enthusiasts, now extends from Boat of Garten to Aviemore.

Aviemore, once a tranquil Highland village, has transformed into a prominent Scottish ski resort. A variety of winter sports are enjoyed here, attracting visitors from near and far when the snow falls.

Almost every square mile of this country has witnessed a battle or skirmish at some point. Balladeers often employ poetic license liberally and pay little heed to the calendar when immortalizing historical events. For instance, their ballads about the events in “The Haughs of Cromdale,” which we visit today, recount two different battles that occurred 45 years and 20 miles apart. The first battle took place at Auldearn.

In the Strath of the picturesque River Spey, many of the world-famous Highland distilleries are located. Glen Grant, Glenfiddich, Glenfarclas, and other renowned single malt whisky brands originate from this stunning area.

In spring and summer, the changing colors of the Cairngorm Mountains, set against the backdrop of various lochs, are truly breathtaking.

Visits to the Osprey Hide (in season) are an option. The Highland Wildlife Park at Kincraig, the award-winning Heather Centre at Dulnain Bridge, The Waltzing Waters, and the Ruthven Barracks at Kingussie are all worth visiting.
