For Mum Cain

‘My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go.’ ‘Freedom and whisky gang thegither!’

Robert Burns (1759–1796)

‘May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.’

Traditional Gaelic blessing

Acknowledgements

My wife, Beryl, has always given freely of her advice, support and encouragement during the planning and writing of my guidebooks. For this book she has also carried out a considerable amount of research, without which it could not have been written, and I am ever grateful. My thanks to Jim Strachan, former Speyside Way Manager, for his help and encouragement and for reading the book proofs. Norman Thomson, Chairman of the Moray Way Association, gave me much information on the Dava Way, Moray Coast Trail and Moray Way. Thanks also to Pete Mitchell and David Binney of the Dava Way Association and to Ian Douglas, Moray Access Manager. Paul Willgoss has also contributed updated trail information. Finally, I thank Jonathan Williams and others at Cicerone Press for their professionalism in publishing this and all my guidebooks.
