Craigellachie

Craigellachie is a small and peaceful, but well supported village in the heart of Speyside. It has a petrol station with a useful shop, a Post Office, hairdresser, beautician, two famous pubs and the Craigellachie Hotel. The hotel has an excellent reputation with great food and an amazing whisky bar with almost 700 different single malts. The Highlander Inn is more informal with an equally brilliant selection of whisky, straight forward pub food and a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere.

We have a wonderful fresh fish van which will stop outside the house on a Tuesday at 8.10am and on a Thursday at about 8.45/9am. He also sells a small selection of bread, fruit and eggs.

Elgin

Just 12 miles away. There are a number of supermarkets including Tesco and Asda whom both deliver to Glengower. The M&S food shop is on the High Street along with banks and a variety of other shops. If you are a serious clothes shopper you my like to make the scenic trip to Aberdeen or Inverness either by car or train.

Aberlour

Aberlour is just two miles away and you should be able to buy everything you need for the duration of your stay here. There is a good deli (great picnics made), Coop, butcher (excellent meat you can preorder), cashpoint, newsagent and various cafes and pubs. There is a chemist with pharmacy, banks and a very good fishing shop. Also home to the famous Walkers shortbread so a visit to the factory shop is a must, as is Aberlour Distillery.

Rothes

There is an excellent bakery called Simpsons on the right just after the bridge over the burn.

Dufftown

Home to DJ Fish and Chip shop, a Coop, nine distilleries, cashpoint and a specialist whisky shop. Also a french restaurant called La Faisanderie. Dufftown has a very good Tourist Information Centre housed in the clocktower
