Speyside Way (Tominoul Spur): Ballindalloch Station to Glenlivet
Our view
From Ballindalloch Station, the Speyside Way heads up the B9137 road to join the A95. Turn left along the busy road's verge, passing 3 remaining stones of a stone circle on your right. Just before the road crosses the River Avon, you can go down steps on the left onto the old bridge, somewhat dwarfed by the bulky road bridge above it. On the far side is an ornate gateway to Ballindalloch Castle.
Rejoining A95, it is a good 0.25 miles (400m), up its steep brae, with only a narrow footpath, to the Delnashaugh Hotel. Above the inn, you can use the edge of the former road, half buried under the banking of the new one – the path even retains its crash barrier, just in case you should swerve off it at 45mph. When the path emerges at a war memorial near a road junction, turn right along the B9008 above the Avon. The road curves round, giving tempting views southward, before the route leaves it, in about 0.5 miles (800m), to take the track towards the farm of Auldich.
