Management

The Speyside Way is managed by the three Access Authorities along the route – the Moray Council, the Highland Council and the Cairngorms National Park Authority.

The Moray Council Countryside Ranger Service, based in the Visitor Centre in Aberlour (currently closed), covers the northern section of the route (from Buckie to Advie) and can provide information for the whole route.

Public Transport

There are railway stations in Elgin and Aviemore from where connections can be made to the rest of the UK. The Edinburgh/Glasgow bus service passes through Aviemore. Buses also connect Elgin with Aberdeen and Inverness, and from Elgin, there is a regular service to Aberlour, Craigellachie, and Dufftown. South of Aberlour, however, services are much less frequent, and getting to and from Tomintoul by bus requires more perseverance and the help of some local knowledge! There is a local (infrequent) bus service linking Aviemore with Grantown on Spey and Ballindalloch. For more information, see our Public Transport Guide.
