The River Spey flows for 107 miles northeast across the Highlands of Scotland into the North Sea. It rises at about 1,150 feet in the Corrieyairack Forest and derives tributaries from the Monadhliath Mountains, the Grampian Mountains, and the Cairngorms. In its wider, lower valley of Strathspey, it swings between great sweeps of terraces and finally enters the sea by a shifting mouth across a shingle spit between Buckie and Lossiemouth. It is famous for salmon and its valley is known for high-quality whisky distilleries. Donated to the village of Aberlour in 1980 by Sydney Littler, the Alice Littler Park is the site of the annual Aberlour Highland Games.
