following the river Spey south from the Grampian coast through forests,
past whisky distilleries and along an old railway track to the famous
Highland resort. The Spey is said to be the fastest flowing and cleanest
river in Britain. Update:
Flood damage has affected the Dufftown spur. The path is still usable
