The Steplar to Glenlivet
Sat, 14 June 2025
A linear walk with Dorenell and Glenlivet Ranger Services along Moray core path SP30 from Steplar in the upper Cabrach through to Glenlivet.
Join the Rangers from Dorenell Ranger Service and Glenlivet Ranger Service for a walk along the Steplar track from the Cabrach to Glenlivet. We’ll park at the finish point in Glenlivet and be transported by coach to the start at the Steplar trailhead in the upper Cabrach. The route will follow Moray core path SP30 heading up to Dead Wives Hillock and crossing the Blackwater river. It traverses Dorenell wind farm then takes in views across to the Cairngorms before following the Suie Burn down to the River Livet and out to Glenlivet.
Along the route the Rangers will talk about the Cultural and Natural History of the area and will be on hand to point out any wildlife along the route which could include Red Deer and various birds of prey including Golden Eagles and White-tailed Eagles.
Although starting off through fields, the route is mainly rough land rover tracks with two fairly steep ascents. There is larger river crossing towards the beginning of the walk so walkers should come prepared for potentially wet feet.
