Moray

40 Coast and Country Walks

Includes Nairn and North Aberdeenshire

Moray and North Aberdeenshire offer a world of contrasts to be explored on foot. Wide expanses of sandy beach are backed by immense dune systems and pine forests teeming with wildlife. The coastal villages include some of the most picturesque in Scotland whilst further inland, castles, wooded glens, waterfalls and distilleries dot the rolling hills between the mountains and the sea.

This guide features 40 shorter walks stretching from Nairn, right along the Moray Firth coast to the eastern tip at Rattray Head in Aberdeenshire. The routes are packed full of interest, including both local favourites and hidden gems. Most of the routes are suitable for families and leave plenty of time to explore the fascinating villages or sample the Speyside whiskies along the way.
