the Glen Moray Visitor Centre is a 5 min walk from me and it’s where I go from work to get a decent coffee 😀
The Glen Grant Distillery in Rothes would be my recommendation. It has a visitor centre and shop and also has lovely gardens that will look fantastic in the snow, ask the guide about the secret whisky safe up in the gorge. My friend used to be a stillman there and we had a private tour where he took us to the whisky safe that’s set into the rock and gave us a taster that was diluted with water straight from the stream. There’s a pavilion thing in the gardens where the ceiling is decorated with deer antlers and is quite spectacular.
You can also see Ben Aigen across the way and admire where Moray could have had trails to rival Glentress, had the land been used well, but now has a trail famed for it’s unpleasant hard work to fun ratio.
