Craigellachie sits on the River Spey and also is part of the famous
' Whisky Trail '. It's famous for the quality and size of fish caught on the river around the village, for anglers the world over flock to the area to try their hand at this very popular sport.

Needless to say it's a very picturesque region with the countryside providing some great walks, the river, if not being fished, at least some great viewing, and the distilleries for some exciting visiting at their centres. A barrel manufacturer is located in the village and to see these men at work is very interesting.

Surrounding spots like Archiestown, Carron and Aberlour are lovely and well worth a visit.

Eats are available from the Hotels and Restaurants in the area at reasonable cost.
Hotels, Guesthouses, Caravan and Camping facilities are available.
