The Walking Group meets on the Second Saturday of Every Month – All Welcome!

Aberlour Walking Group is a welcoming group, open to everybody in the community. Our aim is to combine walking with an opportunity to meet and chat with other walkers, and to introduce walkers to some new areas. Children are welcome, and so are dogs, under adult supervision. We usually stop for a quick tea/coffee enroute, so please bring a flask and wear walking boots or strong shoes. Come ready to start the walks at 9:30am. If you need more information or help with transport please contact Donald (contact details below). Please confirm with Donald that you are coming on any walk.

  • 11th May 2024: Buckie to Portgordon circular walk

    Hi walkers (and some Glebe Communty gardeners),

    The next Aberlour walking Group walk is on 11th May 2024 to Buckie-Portgordon. It is a circular route, starting and finishing in Cluny Square. Travelling from Fochabers, go left at the signpost to Buckie, and follow the road down to the square.

    We spotted 2 seals today, but no doubt there will be more wildlife to spot.

    For those interested in Community Gardens, we will stop for some refreshement at the Portgordon Community Garden.
