7th June 2025: Delnahaitnach circular walk

Start point: From Aberlour, travel along A95 to Grantown, turn right on A938 through Dulnain Bridge to Carrbridge. At Carrbridge, turn left into Carrbridge on B9153, and then turn right immediately after the River Dulnain (& Park Horse bridge), signed to Carrbridge
Station. Follow this road to the end (just over wooden bridge) – parking on left. Total distance – 34 miles from Aberlour Church.

Route: The route follows a rough shooting estate track to the top of Cairn Sleamhuinn (and then back down). It provides excellent views throughout the walk. We will stop for tea/coffee at the top. The route is physical, and not suitable for dogs.

Distance: 11.34km (361m ascent).

The Church of Scotland’s Legacies of Slavery Project

As part of this project, our church is participating in a project with local schools to explore the legacies of slavery in our community. One of the key messages of the project is that although we cannot change the past, we must acknowledge and learn from it.

Children in Primary 5-7 will hear from Lisa Williams (Edinburgh Caribbean Association) and then be asked to create designs reflecting their thoughts on slavery and sharing the message of love, peace and equality for all. The children’s designs will be incorporated into banners for display in local church buildings.

We will need textiles and volunteers to create the banners, in May and June, and if you are able to help please speak to Jane Tweedie or email jane871515@outlook.com. Also, if you have any spare fabrics, ribbons, lace etc, which you no longer need, please consider donating them for use in creating the banners.
