- Walking

Speyside Way: This route goes from Buckie to Aviemore and should take 5-7 days to complete the entire route, however, this will take longer if you plan to visit distilleries along the way. Alternatively if you just wish to walk close to Craigellachie, there are two main walks that you can do, one goes from Craigellachie through to Ballindalloch, and the other is from Fochabers to Craigellachie.

Wildlife Walk-Spey Bay: Further a field is Spey Bay where you can enjoy a stroll around the reserve, part of the largest area of coastal shingle in Scotland. Experience some of the stunning scenery and look out for the bird-life and the bottlenose dolphins too.

Elgin, River Lossie and Quarry Wood: Explore the small city of Elgin in a walk that captures the history of Elgin cathedral and the beautiful scenery of the River Lossie and Quarry Woods.

Mountain Walks: For the hill walkers amongst you, why not climb the popular Ben Rinnes which provides an amazing view from its Summit. The mountain is situated in Glenrinnes, around 5 miles from Dufftown. From the top of the mountain you can see 8 counties on a clear day which include Moray, Banffshire, Aberdeenshire, Nairnshire, Inverness-shire, Ross and Cromarty, Sutherland, and Caithness. The mountain stretches to 20kmē in total.
