Milltown of Edinvillie

In the heart of Malt Whisky Country nestling below Ben Rinnes, at 2755ft (840m) Moray’s second highest mountain, the scattered rural community of Edinvillie (population less than 400) abuts the southern outskirts of Charlestown of Aberlour. Edinvillie is virtually equidistant from Inverness & Aberdeen, being 55 miles & 60 miles away respectively.

More correctly known as Milltown of Edinville, the ruins of the old mill still stands by the Lour burn that runs through the village to the nearby River Spey.	Edinvillie's old bridge
What was once the village shop is now a veterinary practice and to supplement the diverse commercial scene there is a Tree Surgeon, Farming Contractors, Building Contractors, a Childminder, a Contractor specialising in all types of earth moving machinery, two Electrical Contractors, a Lighting Studio and bed and breakfast establishments.	The Lowing Burn	The Lour burn starts its life on nearby Meikle Conval and Ben Rinnes as the burns of: Scurran, Rowantree, James, Henheads, Hollen, Beatshach, Lowing, Kelter, Black and Lynetian falling through a series of waterfalls, growing in size, through to the Linn Falls and finally into the River Spey at Aberlour.
