Glenallachie, Aberlour, AB38 9LR

Aberlour is a village in Moray, Scotland, positioned roughly twelve miles south of Elgin on the route to Grantown. The Lour burn, a tributary of the River Spey, flows through the village, which sits on its banks and borders the Spey itself. The area is historically linked to distillery activity, with James Fleming founding the Aberlour distillery in 1880, and the village has a longstanding association with whisky production. The full name of the settlement is Charlestown of Aberlour, though it is commonly referred to simply as Aberlour. The village’s proximity to the river and its small, close‑knit community offer a tranquil rural lifestyle within reach of larger towns such as Elgin. Residents benefit from the scenic river setting and the village’s heritage linked to distillery history.
