The Speyside Way Map Booklet
1:25,000 OS Route Mapping
By Alan Castle
Map of Scotland's Speyside Way, a 66 mile walk which follows the River Spey from Aviemore to Buckie and can be linked to the Dava Way and Moray Coast Trail. This booklet is included with the Cicerone guidebook to the trail, and shows the full route on Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 maps.
The Speyside Way is suitable in all seasons; late spring and early autumn particularly good; limited facilities in winter for most locations visited
Newtonmore, Kingussie, Aviemore, Grantown-on-Spey, Aberlour, Craigellachie, Fochabers, Tomintoul, Dufftown, Forres, Findhorn, Burghead, Lossiemouth, Findochty, Cullen
generally easy and well waymarked trails suitable for walkers of most abilities
numerous whisky distilleries, disused railway tracks and heritage railways, broad strath of Speyside, scenic coastal fishing settlements and abundant wildlife
All the mapping you need to complete Scotland's 66-mile (106km) Speyside Way, an official Scottish Long Distance Route which follows the River Spey through northern Scotland from Aviemore to the old port of Buckie on the Moray coast. As well as beautiful scenery, the Spey is famed for its salmon and its distilleries. The route features easy walking on good paths and along disused railway lines and can be comfortably completed in a week.
This booklet of Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 Explorer maps has been designed for convenient use on the trail and can be used when walking the route in either direction. It shows the line of the Speyside Way along with the relevant extract from the OS Explorer map legend. It is conveniently sized for slipping into a jacket pocket or top of a rucksack and comes in a clear PVC sleeve.
NOTE An accompanying Cicerone guidebook - The Speyside Way / ISBN 9781852848682 - describes the full route from Aviemore to Buckie with lots of other practical and background information, for those preferring a written guide. The accompanying guidebook INCLUDES a copy of this map booklet.
if you can't make it from aviemore to buckie utilising the guide and the maps, you probably shouldn't consider leaving home in the first place
this particular volume from cicerone is the first i've come across that arrives inside a laminated pvc sleeve, containing not only the book itself, but a full colour ordnance survey 1:25,000 route map booklet. (the map booklet is also available separately at a cost of £7.95) if you can't make it from aviemore to buckie utilising the guide and the maps, you probably shouldn't consider leaving home in the first place. but, as with the majority of cicerone guides, the overall route is broken up into more appetising, bite-size chunks.
