We went on a circular walk today, taking in the three villages of Dufftown, Craigellachie and Aberlour.
First it was uphill and then through the forest and over the moor to Dufftown. On the moor the spiders' webs were covered in dew.
In Dufftown we had a coffee in a café.
Dufftown is the centre of the Speyside whisky industry, including the Glenfiddich and Balvenie distilleries.
This is Balvenie castle.
We went past the entrance to Glenfiddich distillery.
We sat at Dufftown station for our lunch.
The next part of the walk was along the old railway track to Craigellachie. Today we had many foraging opportunities, including red and golden raspberries, wild strawberries and blaeberries.
At Craigellachie we stopped at the old Telford Bridge.
The path to Aberlour was on the Speyside Way, but was also an old railway track.
From Aberlour we completed the walk back to the site, about 25 km in all.
Later we had chilli and rice for dinner.
