The ‘Greater Speyside’ area in North-East Scotland treats you to an excellent mix of things to do and see with beautiful scenery. Activities such as fishing, golf, extreme outdoor sports, castles and famous distilleries will take up your time. For Speyside golf courses see our local courses.

If you’re planning to participate in a whisky tour, Speyside has several on offer, including Glenfarclas, two miles east of Ballindalloch. Combine it with a trip to Ballindalloch Castle. 

The Glen Grant distillery can be found in Rothes, Aberlour which also has the splendid Major Grant’s garden to view.

The cooperage just south of Craigellachie provides an insight into this related ancient craft. Come and view the oak casks, used for storing wines, whisky and other spirits, being made. There’s also an audio-visual presentation, exhibition and tastings.
