River Spey, River in northeastern Scotland

The River Spey stretches 172 kilometers from the Corrieyairack Forest through the Scottish Highlands before flowing into the North Sea near Buckie.

First documented in 1451, the River Spey appears in Ptolemy's ancient maps from 150 AD under the name Tuesis, marking its early significance.

The Speyside region along the river contains the highest concentration of whisky distilleries in Scotland, shaping the national spirits industry.

The Speyside Way walking path follows the river from Newtonmore to the Moray Firth, providing access points for hiking and nature observation.

The river's fast flow and steep gradient make it the second fastest flowing river in Scotland, creating specific conditions for salmon migration.
