Glen Grant & the Spey
A quiet distilling village above the Spey, with the Glen Grant gardens climbing the hill behind and the Speyside Way passing through.

Local walks
The routes worth knowing — from a flat riverside hour to the glen behind the town.
The riverside path, Rothes
An easy hour along the water from the centre of Rothes — flat, pram-friendly, and quiet by mid-morning. The light is best an hour after sunrise.
The glen & waterfall loop
A steeper woodland circuit up into the glen, finishing at a hidden fall that runs gold after rain. Boots in winter; worth it in any season.
River & glen
The Spey, woods & distilleries
Salmon water, birch woods and the malt trail — Speyside at its quietest.
The Spey at Rothes
Gentle riverside paths along one of Scotland’s great salmon rivers — herons, old bridges, and the Speyside Way threading through. Flat and open the whole way.
The distillery trail
A walkable loop linking the local distilleries through birch woods and barley fields — the air smells of malt, and there’s a dram at the end if you want one.
