The Macallan
Distillery - A great place to start of your tour round the
Whisky Trail.
Macallan is a single malt Scotch whisky, produced near Easter Elchies
House, at Craigellachie in Speyside.
The distillery produces a number of expressions, the most generally
available being the 10-year-old, though the 18-year-old is also well
known. Expensive 25- and 30-year-old versions can also be found. The
Macallan is one of the ingredients of The Famous Grouse blend. |

Balvenie
Castle - Near Dufftown is a striking fortification and dates to the
1200's. Partially hidden by woodland, there is more to this castle than
meets the eye and the interior is very much larger than seems possible
from the outside. Close inspection presents the visitor with a unique
account of life many hundreds of years ago when the powerful Comyn earls
ruled in Glenfiddich.
Moray and Aberdeenshire
have a rich abundance of Castles and many of these can be viewed
by following the
Castle Trail. |

Fishing The
River Spey is probably the most famous salmon
river in the World. The Spey rises in the Monadhliath mountains to the
south of Loch Ness and flows 100 miles northwards to enter the Moray
Firth at Spey bay. In its lower course, downstream of Grantown, it is a
fast flowing river, providing miles of perfect, and highly sought after,
fly fishing water.
Speyfishing Website offers more comprehensive details on fishing the
River Spey. |
