The Rothes Way is a community-led project which aims to provide a multi-use path linking Rothes and Craigellachie, free for everyone to use. It will for the most part follow the line of the former Morayshire railway and will provide a safe, scenic route, principally for walkers and cyclists, which avoids the busy main road between the two communities. It will also provide a link to the established Speyside Way from Craigellachie to Aberlour and beyond. Starting from The Square, cross over Spey Street and at the corner with Land Street you’ll see a path which takes you along the back of houses. Follow this path, which is the old railway line. The route is still in development.

Rothes Rambles

The Rothes Rambles leaflet is a wonderful celebration of local creativity by the talented pupils of Rothes Primary School with support from Norma D Hunter, the 2023/24 AIM (Arts in Moray) Artist in Residence for the Moray Way. Through sound, colour, storytelling and images, Norma inspired the pupils to explore and interpret each walk in their own way.  Make sure to look out for their place markers on each walk!

Pupils’ View: The Rothes Way full of nature as far as the eye can see. Horses, sheep and more. Birds chirp, the wind blows making a great walk.
