Rothes

Rothes occupies a riverside position beside the River Spey in Scotland’s Speyside region. The town sits in the heartland of Scotch whisky production, with the Glen Grant distillery, founded in 1840, forming a longstanding part of its identity. Warehouse buildings, distillery architecture and the practical trade of cask-making reflect an industry shaped by the Spey valley’s water and transport links. Above the settlement stand the remains of Rothes Castle, a medieval stronghold whose ruins recall the town’s older role in Moray. The Speyside Way passes through Rothes, connecting it with the river corridor and other communities associated with whisky.
