Speyside Glenlivet sits in the rural heart of Moray, Scotland, running along the famous Spey valley and up into the rounded hills of the Glenlivet area on the fringes of the Cairngorms. The landscape is a mix of fast rivers, woodlands and rolling farmland, and it is best known for its concentration of Scotch whisky distilleries and the malt whisky traditions that attract visitors from around the world.
The local economy is driven by whisky production, tourism and agriculture, with historic estate houses, castles and ruined towers dotting the countryside. Communities here are small and tightly knit, with outdoor pursuits such as fishing, walking and wildlife watching playing an important cultural role, while seasonal events and distillery tours keep a strong sense of place and local identity.
