About Roy
A Speysider born and bred brought up at The Macallan Distillery on the Easter Elchies Estate. I am a carpenter and joiner to trade and have run my own businesses for many years including 10 years as a local tour guide to the Speyside area and North East Highlands of Scotland from Inverness in the west to Aberdeen in the east and Aviemore in the south.
