Access

Scotland has a long tradition of right to roam, recently enshrined in legislation.

At Logie the river paths offer a variety of scenery and distance, the Dava Way, a long distance path from Forres to Grantown-on-Spey, can be joined or left at several points and there is access to the river for canoeists at Daltulich Bridge and Randolph's Leap.

The right to roam carries with it a responsibility - to use your common sense when out and about.

Please remember that the land or water you use for walking, riding, biking or canoeing is almost certainly shared with someone else whose livelihood depends on it, the farmer, forester, shepherd, gamekeeper or fishing ghillie.

Your dog, off its lead and 50m away, might seem to be under control but to a month old lamb or a capercailzie chick it is just as threatening as an armed terrorist would be to you and me.

Fire is always a danger in the countryside and a neglected camp fire, discarded bottle or cigarette butt can cause untold damage.
