Rothes: Brown Muir
Built around a medieval castle, Rothes grew into a Speyside village shaped by farming and whisky-making. Brown Muir belongs to the open agricultural country surrounding the settlement, where fields, hedgerows and low ridges form the landscape above the valley of the River Spey. Rothes is one of Speyside’s whisky centres: Glen Grant was founded here in 1840, and distilling remains central to the local identity. The ruins of Rothes Castle recall the area’s earlier history, while the village’s compact streets and industrial heritage contrast with the quieter pasture and arable land around Brown Muir.
