Holidays in Moray and Lower Speyside

Moray is one of Scotland’s ancient counties and is bordered by the clean seas of the Moray Firth to the north, by the Cairngorm Mountains to the south, by Nairn, Inverness and the Highlands to the west and by Aberdeenshire to the east.

The Moray coast mixes sandy beaches with rocky coves and includes fascinating fishing ports and seaside towns like Buckie, Cullen and Lossiemouth.

Inland, the land is fertile and rolling and drained by some famous salmon rivers, including the Spey. Here, often beside or close to these rivers, you will find the ancient and very attractive market towns of Elgin, Fochabers, Keith and Forres.

South of the coastal plain the land rises up into the foothills of the Cairngorms - a very beautiful area and one much loved by walkers and cyclists. Dufftown, Rothes, Aberlour and Tomintoul are some of the towns and villages here, each with its own distinct character and appeal.

Whisky production and Moray are synonymous and you can visit any number of distilleries on the Malt Whisky Trail: Aberlour, Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, Cardhue and Glen Grant Distillery & Garden to name but five.

You can also visit castles like the National Trust for Scotland’s Brodie, or Balindalloch, Balvenie or Drumin, and famous attractions like the Baxters of Fochabers’ Highland Village, Johnsons of Elgin Cashmere Visitor Centre and the Speyside Cooperage Visitor Centre where whisky barrels are still made.

You can go on dolphin-watching, skin diving and sea angling boat trips, enjoy skiing and winter sports at The Lecht, enjoy some wonderful walks and long distance trails, including the Moray Coastal Trail, and fish for trout and salmon or golf to your heart’s content.
