Hiking Speyside Whisky Trail

Visit the world-famous whisky distilleries in Speyside while hiking along the salmon-filled River Spey. You pass peaceful forests and beautiful heather-clad glens while being able to taste the different 'malts and blends' produced by Glenlivet and Glenfiddich.

You hike along smugglers' paths in the shadow of the Cairngorm mountain where you are also surrounded by rich nature and wildlife. In the Speyside region there are nearly half of the 100 or more malt whisky distilleries that exist in Scotland.

This hiking trip is designed to combine the best of both hiking and whisky. Each day's hike gives you the opportunity to visit distilleries and experience the production and products that have made this drink world-famous.

You start in Craigellachie in the heart of malt whisky country and make your way via 62 km of hiking to Tomintoul where the hike ends. With 4 hiking days and 5 nights you can visit at least 6 different distilleries without having to drive a single meter!
