River Spey

The River Spey is a river in Scotland that runs 107 miles (172 km) to the Moray Firth at Spey Bay, making it the second longest river in Scotland.

Rising at over 1000 feet at Loch Spey in Corrieyairack Forest in The Scottish Highlands, 10 miles south of Fort Augustus, it descends to flow through Newtonmore and Kingussie crossing Loch Insh before reaching Aviemore at the start of Strath Spey ('Spey Valley'). From there it flows the remaining 60 miles north-east to the Moray Firth watering the many famous distilleries of Speyside, that produce more whisky than any other region.

The river is also known for the quality of its salmon and trout.
