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.

    As usual, let me know if you are joining us by Thursday 9th May, and if you need help with transport.

  • 6th April 2024: Binn Hill from Kingston-on-Spey circular walk

    Start point: This is a circular figure-of-eight route which starts from the car park at
    the mouth of the Spey in Kingston-on-Spey.

    Route: It follows the Moray Coastal Trail and visits some of Moray’s coastal defences from World War Two, including a rifle range. We follow a steep section on sandy paths climbing through woods to Binn Hill; stopping for a tea break to take in some excellent views of the coast. The route returns to the coast following the Moray Coastal trail back to the rifle range, returning to Kingston-on Spey on an inland track.

    Distance: 9.5km (6mi), 90m ascent.

    The September walk is from Lhanbryde to Mosstodloch.
