Strathspey Steam Train On Visit Near Aviemore Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland short travel video clip of a Strathspey Steam Train near the railway station on visit to Aviemore, Scottish Highlands. The term Strathspey usually refers to the upper part of the strath, or valley, from the source of the Spey down to the capital, Grantown on Spey, whereas the anglicised form, Speyside, refers to the area from Grantown on Spey to the mouth of the river at Spey Bay. Recently there has been some controversy over attempts to anglicise the name into Spey Valley. The tourist area from the south starts at Dalwhinnie and continues North along the A9 towards Newtonmore, Kingussie, Aviemore and on towards Grantown on Spey. The Canadian merchant Robert Simpson, founder of Simpson's department store, was born in Strathspey in 1834.
