Speyside Way 1: Buckie to Fochabers
The first stage of the Speyside Way is very varied, with a walk past old Buckpool harbour and along the coastline to Portknockie followed by an old-railway line and woodland stretch to reach the beautiful mouth of the Spey. The route then heads inland on tracks through woods and fields, with the mighty Spey never far away, before ending in the very fine small town of Fochabers.
