“Innovative, entertaining and practical” – Cameron McNeish
The Speyside Way is one of Scotland’s Great Trails. Its main spine runs for 85 miles (136 km) from the fishing port of Buckie to Newtonmore in the Cairngorms National Park, with an optional 16-mile spur to Tomintoul via Glenlivet. 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 third edition, based on fieldwork in 2021, has been fully revised to celebrate the long-awaited extension to Newtonmore. It has specially commissioned large-scale mapping on 17 of its pages. Over half of its 100 colour photos are new.
This guidebook contains all you need to plan and enjoy the Speyside Way:
• the Way step-by-step, with summaries of distance, terrain and refreshments
