Local Area Information

This area is truly Malt Whisky Country. The fast flowing rivers and spectacular rolling farmlands provide the raw ingredients for the world renowned Speyside Malt. Uisge Betha, the Gaelic word for whisky meaning 'The Water of Life' provides the backdrop for a magical journey through enchanted Speyside glens to visit the distilleries where the water, malted barley and yeast is combined to produce an array of malts, each with its own distinctive flavour. From the name Uisge Betha it is easy to appreciate that Whisky Distilling is an art form where patience really is a virtue, as after all the grinding, churning, frothing and boiling comes the maturing, which could be as long as 25 years!

Dufftown without a doubt is the capital of Malt Whisky Country with no less than
7 distilleries, you can visit The Glenfiddich Distillery - the only Highland Single
Malt Whisky that is distilled, matured and bottled at its own distillery.

Join the free guided tour which will explain how the whisky is made and of course sample a 'wee dram' at the end. You can then join 'Scotland's Malt Whisky Trail' which will take you to around another 6 famous distilleries including, Strathisla Distillery - Home of Chivas Regal. There is also the Speyside Cooperage which demonstrates traditional barrel making skills.

Here in Whisky Country you will discover the best that Scotland has to offer: spectacular scenery, coastlines of cliffs and caves, harbours, long sandy beaches, castles, and charming towns and villages. All of Parkmore properties are also in easy reach of The Coastal and Castle Trails.

From the fertile plains of the Laich of Moray join 'The Speyside Way' - one of Scotland's official long distance foot paths. Extending from Buckie on the coast and continuing up the Spey to Aviemore, the route offers mainly easy walking terrain through magnificent scenery. The area has many other walking opportunities for the more adventurous.

Play golf on championship courses or coastal links. Horse ride, fish, sail, cycle, go dolphin watching on the Moray Firth.
