Grantown on Spey Walks, sightseeing & whisky tours

Tour Strathspey & Cairngorms National Park to the Moray Firth Coast and Inverness

Join me at Strathspey Tours to discover this beautiful area of the Scottish Highlands. From the Cairngorms National Park and River Spey, to the Malt Whisky Trail of Speyside and beyond to the Moray Firth Coast and Inverness. A vast landscape which encapsulates Scotland in miniature and embraces the rich heritage and culture of the Highlands.

I offer bespoke driver guide sightseeing and whisky tours within a 50 mile radius of Grantown-on-Spey, the capital of Strathspey where you can decide the sites you wish to visit. You’ll be spoilt for choice with the fantastic scenery, romantic castles, picturesque lochs, famous whisky distilleries and a variety of old and new crafts and traditions.

I am John Halliday, and I live in Grantown and my family roots go back generations in Strathspey. A qualified Scottish Tourist Guides Association member, graduate in Scottish Cultural Studies and author of three books on the area. Who better than Strathspey Tours to take you on this journey of discovery?

Don’t just take their word for it, join me on a Strathspey Tour or one of my many Grantown on Spey walks

Booked a distillery tour, and it was exactly what we wanted, a beautiful tour of the area before and after the whisky tasting. John was really knowledgeable and friendly, perfect.

John is an excellent guide with a fund of interesting information. A gentle walk punctuated by lots of local knowledge from a person who cares deeply about his town.
