Highland Games

The last Saturday in July.

There are many walks in the area. If you like hill climbing there is Ben Rinnes and Ben Aigen. On a good day it is said when you reach the apex of Ben Rinnes you can see 7 counties. There is also the Giants Chair which is a nice wee walk. If you are lucky you may see the salmon going up stream around September time.

Hunting is available on the Glenfiddich Estate, Dufftown golf club is also nearby.

The Speyside Cooperage just outside Craigellachie is an interesting place to visit, you can watch barrels being made and have a go at making one yourself.
