Aberlour sits in the heart of Moray in north-east Scotland, tucked where the little Lour meets the River Spey. The town is part of the famous Speyside whisky country, set against rolling hills and popular for salmon fishing, riverside walks and easy access to the Cairngorm foothills.
Historically it grew around mills and a distillery, and whisky production still shapes the local economy alongside tourism and agriculture. There’s also a long-standing charitable tradition - a Victorian-era children’s home in the town evolved into today’s child-care work - and residents describe it as a small, convivial place with strong community life centred on outdoor pursuits and local events.
