The River Spey is located in the northeast of Scotland. It is the second-longest river in Scotland and the seventh-longest in the United Kingdom. The river originates in the Corrieyairack Pass in the Scottish Highlands and flows through the Grampian Mountains before reaching the North Sea in the Moray Firth, east of the city of Inverness. The River Spey is known for its scenic beauty, and diverse wildlife, and is particularly famous for its salmon fishing and whisky distilleries, as it runs through the Speyside whisky region, home to many famous distilleries.
