"It's fallen in the water!"
Apologies to Ogden Nash and Little Jim (aka Spike Milligan) respectively!!
Anyway, to be serious, the Speyside Way has or is trying to 'fall in the water' in a couple of places. Bank erosion between Spey Bay and Fochabers has resulted in a short diversion, same as two years ago in 2008. The Spey simply wants to go somewhere else......

Elsewhere at Knockando the slippage is a bit more mysterious - or is it? Further slippage has revealed a piece of blue tape sticking out of the bank - a sudden reminder that about 20 years ago a water main was laid along this section of railway - is a leak in the pipe causing a subterranean wash-out? If not, the slip is clearly now threatening the integrity of the pipe. The route is still open for the moment, but Scottish Water is now involved and we will keep you posted as to what will happen next.
