Inveravon, Moray

The total area of the parish is now 198.8 km2 (77 sq mi) the boundaries having been modified following the publication of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889.

[1] The current boundaries encompass Ballindalloch and Marypark in Speyside, a small area of land on the north bank of the Spey adjacent to those settlements, a part of lower Stratha'an and the whole of Glenlivet.

[13] In the late eighteenth century the "exterior of the building and the artificial embellishment of the natural beauties, bespeak it the residence of opulence united with the most correct taste".

[14] The author of the Inveravon section of the Old Statistical Account added that "by the history of Scotland in all ages, it is certain that there has been no period in which the people, high or low, of every rank, led their lives in more secure or more comfortable circumstances.

The station building was used as a hostel for walkers and cyclists navigating the Speyside Way that runs along the line of the dismantled railway but is now a private house.

Further downstream on the west bank of the river is The Glenlivet distillery owned by the Chivas Brothers that sells more than a million cases per annum.
