North-eastern Scotland's Speyside region is home to the vibrant and growing tiny town of Dufftown. As the proverb says, "Rome was founded on seven hills, Dufftown stands on seven stills," it is also directly along the Malt Whisky Trail. A whisky tasting is a necessity, unless you are the driver of course, as there are currently nine distilleries in the region! In addition to the distilleries, the world-famous salmon fishing of the Strathspey region is accessible, and licences may be obtained locally. The 18-hole golf course in Dufftown features breath-taking surroundings, and visitors are warmly welcomed. In the winter, staying in the region offers excellent value for skiers and snowboarders because the Lecht ski slopes are only a 50-minute drive away, Aviemore is only about an hour away, and The Cabrach is a "Dark Sky Designated Area," making it perfect for astronomers.
