The strath will be taking centrestage in the latest episode of the popular BBC Scotland series Landward this evening - and there will be a familiar face on the screen.
Dougie Vipond and the team are in wider Speyside region for a special episode.
The presenter meets Duncan Ferguson, of Glenmore, who has spent his working life on the Spey.
With climate change now having an impact, he finds out about the future of the famous river.
As operations manager of the Spey Fishery Board,Mr Ferguson is now working with estates, agencies and distilleries across the catchment to improve the natural habitat and try and save salmon in the Spey.
A Landward spokeswoman said: “Dougie takes a river journey up the Spey catchment with Duncan.
“Starting out as a bailiff, Duncan has worked on the river Spey for the last 35 years and has witnessed enormous changes.
“In that time, wild Atlantic Salmon have declined by 70 per cent and they’re now classed as endangered in the UK.”
Dougie also visits the Glenrinnes Estate to find out how the farm is run on an organic system, and is joined by estate Manager Alister Laing for a tour of the farm.
The family-owned estate has been developed with a focus on farming since 1994, and in 2001 the estate became an accredited producer of organic livestock.
The estate is spread over more than 6,000 acres of pasture and moor, an ideal environment for rearing their award-winning organic pedigree Aberdeen Angus and Shorthorn cattle.
They also rear Blackface sheep and deer.
The Speyside special airs this evening on BBC Scotland at 8.30pm.
