Activities you can do in and around Aberlour:

Whisky Trail

In an area renowned for its Whisky, with numerous distilleries, the 70-mile long Malt Whisky Trail follows the River Spey through the northern foothills of the Grampians in Scotland. The area also holds a fun annual Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival each year.

Aberlour Distillery is located on this famous trail and open to visitors.

Fishing

Speyside Way by the River Spey is noted for salmon and trout fishing. The Spey is unusual in that it increases speed as it flows closer to the coast, making it the fastest flowing river in Scotland. The mouth of the river is very good for bird watching; you can see ospreys flying down to catch fish for their young when they are nesting at Boat of Garten. Fishing permits can be purchased in the village.

Local walks

Speyside Way walk
The Speyside Way, formerly the old railway line, makes walking a comfortable and rewarding pursuit. The way is very easy from Dufftown, through Craigellachie and Aberlour and passed Ballindalloch Castle, dating from 1546 but restored in 1850, to Glenlivet.
