QUESTION: Are you aware there is a culvert running under the A941 road which runs from the Dufftown entrance of the village down to the corner of the Craigellachie Hotel? No? Then read on...

In 2014 there was a CCTV survey done on this culvert showing a lot of damage to the culvert. Since then there has been no work done to repair the damage.

We do not think this is acceptable and are holding an Open Meeting on Thursday 24 September 2026 at 7pm in the Craigellachie Village Hall, to raise awareness of the damaged culvert carrying the Craigellachie Burn from Drumfurrich to The River Spey.

We will discuss the original 2014 CCTV survey. We want to find out what further deterioration has occurred since 2014 along with why managed repairs to the culvert have not been done.

We have already suffered traffic lights several times causing holdups in the village. A total failure of any part of the culvert will have a detrimental effect not only to residents of the village, but also people and businesses who travel on the A941 through the village.

If you live in the village, or regularly use this road, come along and find out more and show your support for getting something done about it.
