Hiking
One of Scotland's greatest rivers, the Spey is rich in both natural beauty and history. It's the eighth longest river in the UK and is Scotland's fastest flowing too. It has a proud whisky heritage, with Speyside's distilleries being the most prolific than any other.
This section of the river is joined by Newtonmore's Wildcat Trail, a lovely loop of the village.

Hiking
The part of the Wild Cat Trail along the River Spey is flat. It offers beautiful views of the river in many places. You can even swim in the river here and there.
