- Aberlour is this the end?
Aberlour is a town in Moray, Scotland, 12 miles (20 km) south of Elgin on the road to Grantown. A burn (stream), the Lour burn is a tributary of the River Spey, and the surrounding parish, are both named Aberlour, but the name is most commonly used in reference to the village which straddles the stream and flanks the Spey - although the full name of the village is Charlestown of Aberlour.
A site noted as Abirlaur is shown in this location on maps in Joan Blaeu's Atlas of Scotland, from 1654. The current village, Charlestown of Aberlour, was "founded by Mr. Charles Grant of Elchies in 1812 - with the name of Charlestown of Aberlour after his son Charles. It is commonly referred to simply as Aberlour. The town was granted its feu charter in 1814 and began to operate its own markets. Whisky was a major industry even then and once the 1823 licensing act was passed and a longer warehousing process introduced it began to take on the more mature characteristics that we are familiar with today.

Lovely video David well done thanks for sharing take care my lovelys 😉
Thanks Charlie, started to watch your video but it was time to head out on a Donder.
Great zoom you have David, so clear. Lovely walk with Lindsay. Waterfall was well worth it. Take Care Both X
It a Panasonic videocam. Has a good optical zoom and a long crap digital zoom 😂. It is a lovely spot normally full of people 😂 Stay safe and well.
Nice walk along the river..
Thanks Max. It is a great walk with the falls as the target.
Lovely video and an interesting walk with Lindsay. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks Dave and Helen Aberlour is a lovely place. The site on the edge of town is a good spot.
Thanks folks, hope you are both well 😊
"fish on!!!" Nice Salmon on a fly rod. My compliments to the fisherman. Thanks for the walk to the Falls Lindsay. Hope you kicked the cold. 🍻
Yes right sfter I said nobody would catch, he goes and proves me wrong and on fly too. 😂 Lindsay soon kicked the cold and enjoyed her walk
Thank you fully recovered 😊
Some good activities going on there Dave what with the fishing and permaculture. Looks to be a great place to settle or visit. Mice one Lindsey for treating yourself - they sound comfy. Chinese is always a fave - lovely falls. All the best up there. Mark
Absolutely, it is a lovely place but very expensive too. The fisherman could have timed it better so I looked like I knew what I was talking about 😂. Lindsay has needed decent gloves for filming and agree on the Chinese.
Thank you 😊
@@DesmondsDonders Yeah, I'm sure there is some money around Dave.
Good catch. Hope the head cold doesn’t last. Thank you David and Lindsay for sharing this with us. Sounds like spring has sprung. Crazy what people leave behind. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓beautiful falls
Yes boy did I get it wrong at the start of this. Thank you for coming along with us and it seems to have sprung here.
Thank you, I am feeling much better now ☺
I likes seeing the fisherman and interesting information about Aberlour and a lovely hike by Lindsey. I enjoyed in full to the 20:30 end. Thank you, my friends.
Thank you Dave. Boy did I get everything wrong at the start 🤣
Thank you Dave 😊
Love that bridge! Oh no. Hope Lindsay feels better soon. Well it is a great place to take pics. It's a lovely backdrop. Oh there she is! Aww you should have stayed in bed! It sure is a beautiful path! And I love hearing the water while you're walking along. Well that's wonderful that you decided to treat yourself. You for sure should! Ah that's what you mean by recycled. I was wondering. I was half expecting to see you wearing the jumper LOL. Scarf and gloves sound much more in style LOL. Those people drive us nuts too. We're always picking up someone else garbage. So ridiculous that we have to clean up after adults 🙄 Oh your scarf is gorgeous! I love it! I bet it feels amazing!! The falls are gorgeous, of course! I do love a nice waterfall. Thanks for the walk and chat! Hope you are feeling better now.
It is a great place, which is why we keep coming back. I let Lindsay talk about hats and gloves 🤣
Agree on the litter louts
Lindsay is better now.
Thank you, fully recovered, I love the colours of the scarf and gloves, so luxurious, but so worth it 😊
Lovely video and chat, beautiful waterfall, shame about the kindling bag. Em 💜
Thanks Em, we are seeing more rubbish as time goes on. We do what we can but changing folk is not our job. It is a lovely place and the walk is lovely.
@@DesmondsDonders we did notice a lot of rubbish in lay-bys, it never used to be like that! It’s the same down here, but dare I say it, the councils seem to be a more proactive in collecting it. But, up there is so vast, I guess they have to wait until they’re in the area and see it or wait for someone to make them aware of it. Em 💜
I guess you are right, our council could not be proactive if they tried, hard enough to be reactive. Maybe try to make it a council election matter LOL
I really like the zoom on your camera David. And thanks to Lindsey for taking us on a walk eventhough she wasn't feeling well!
I do to lol, the videocam is my best camera really much better than the Pocket.
Thank you, feeling much better now ☺
Been away, so now trying to catch up. We hope Lindsay is feeling better very soon. I thought Salmon came in tins, didn't realize you caught them with a butterfly net😁, by the way, how big are your Butterflies ? lol. Lindsay, you need to wrap up warm with a wee dram. Keep safe
The tinned stuff is pet salmon these days. The best stuff is caught in butterfly nets. Lol we have big butterflies. Lindsay is fine but does not do whisky. The government may deport her 😂
Thank you both, I am fully recovered but would not thank you for the wee dram.. yeuch... hope you are both well xx
A beautiful place once again!
That fish looked huge!!! - but I'm no expert so maybe it was a tiddler for a Salmon.
A lovely walk to the falls which were really wonderful to see. Apart from the prats who have no soul 😨😨😨😨
Hope you guys recovered quickly and that you have agreta weekend 👍👍👍👍
Hi Dave, it was a reasonable size but they all go back these days. It is a lovely walk and usually clear. Aberlour doesn't normally fail us 😂 We are of and out again to a nice little spot for walking.
Thank you Dave, fully recovered now 😊
Great luck watching the salmon catch. Always good to see fish returned to the river too 😅. Will you be picking up your fishing rod(s) again? Enjoyed the history of Aberlour and waterfall walk.
If only I had not said nobody was going to catch right before it LOL. We have to in Scotland Salmon are catch and release only. It is a lovely place thanks Sue. Whoops forgot to mention fishing, I might or I might not LOL
Nice to see the salmon went back in. Fancy sending Lindsay put filming when she had the lurg. What you like 😁 Gorgeous waterfall. One we need to add to the list.
They have to these days in Scotland. I did not send Lindsay anywhere LOL I cannot do that. Aberlour is a lovely place that gets busy as always.
Kindling , I'll have it 😊
Long kindled 😂
Sorry it went into the bin
