The Whisky Train a Railway Between Dufftown and Nethy Bridge Was Built in 1863 to Serve the Numerous Distilleries Operating in Speyside
The Whisky Train A railway between Dufftown and Nethy Bridge was built in 1863 to serve the numerous distilleries operating in Speyside. This Speyside Railway was extended 3 years later to Boat of Garten to join up with the Highland Railway and became part of the Great North of Scotland Railway in the same year. The line was closed to passenger traffic in 1963 and goods trains, mainly whisky trains, stopped running 3 years later. The track was lifted in 1970 although 2 heritage railways still operate at either end; the Keith & Dufftown Railway and the Strathspey Heritage Railway between Broomhill (near Nethy Bridge) and Aviemore. A section between Craigellachie and Ballindalloch forms part of the Speyside Way walking route now. We start our drive / ride at Dufftown station (AB55 4BA) and follow roads which run alongside or close to this whisky railway. The route is just under 50 miles long and takes in some interesting places to visit before it loops back to Dufftown. Full details are given in a table and shown on the map, overleaf. You can of course visit the numerous famous single malt whisky distilleries en-route but how many can you tick-off from your Collins-gem Whisky book? You pass Glenfiddich alongside the railway for starters, so start counting. Our 1st suggested stop is at the famous Thomas Telford Bridge at Craigellachie, dating from 1814. It has a span of 46m using a cast iron arch structure complete with mock medieval towers with battlements at either end. It is a category A listed structure and is now only open to pedestrians or cyclists. -

Page | 2 Birds in Moray & Nairn 2007 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the 23rd edition of Birds in Moray & Nairn, formerly known as the Moray & Nairn Bird Report. During the period since the first edition in 1985 the format has changed from a slender, stapled document of 25 Gestetner-duplicated A4 pages to the present perfect-bound product containing colour photography. There has also been a substantial increase in the number of contributing observers (23 in 1985, 110 in 2007) and in the volume of records submitted (14259 in 2007). Clearly, computerisation has greatly assisted with the handling of so many records and observers who do not already do so are encouraged to enter and submit their records by means of the Excel spreadsheet which can be obtained from the editor on request.
