Major flooding of River Spey due to a heavy snow melt in the Grampian Mountains and high tides inundates historic village of Garmouth near the mouth of the river. The river, one of the fastest flowing rivers in Scotland, is continually changing its course as it approaches in mouth opening into the Moray Firth and Spey Bay. In April 2009 it burst its banks, flooding the Garmouth and Kingston Golf Course and some of the lower lying houses and cottages in the village. It also closed the main access road to Kingston-on-Spey for several days. A large number of trees were washed away and carried towards the sea and blocking some of the river channels. The winter of 2010 was one of the coldest with large quality of snow falling across Scotland and it the mountains.
