An award-winning photographer is to begin a year-long project documenting life on the River Spey by canoeing it from source to mouth - a trip he did 30 years ago with his father. Ed Smith, 39, will film the landscape and interview the people he meets along the way on the 10-day adventure on the water. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Ed Smith, documentary photographer, sets out on a year long project to document the environment, culture and economy of the River Spey. | Ed Smith The river trip is the first of a multi-stage project which will then see Mr Smith embark on an autumnal bike ride along the Spey, followed by a winter canoe descent of the river in January next year. The project will end with a final bike ride in the opposite direction, from sea to source, in April 2026. The river Spey rises in the Monadhliath Mountains to the west of Laggan in the Highlands and flows east and northeast into Moray where it joins the sea at Spey Bay. It has a catchment area of 3367 sq. km and on its route to the Moray Firth, it passes the towns of Newtonmore, Kingussie, Aviemore, Grantown-on-Spey, Charlestown of Aberlour, Craigellachie, Rothes and Fochabers. It runs through an area - Speyside - celebrated, internationally, for its fishing and being home to more than 50 distilleries, the highest number of any of Scotland's whisky regions. It is also where the Spey cast, a technique used in fly fishing on fast-flowing rivers, originated after the river was developed in the 19th Century.

The photographer last completed the 100-mile trip down the Spey aged 10 with his father. 'More than just photography' Before setting off, the Kingussie-based photographer said: 'This is more than just a photography trip. 'The River Spey is a vital artery through the Highlands, rich with history, industry and community. While it's renowned for fishing and watersports, its deeper value lies in the way it has influenced local economies and shaped generations of communities.'

He said he wants to explore some of the big conversations shaping the region today through his project, including recent species reintroductions and possible future industrial changes to the area. 'There are major conversations happening right now around the future of the Spey, from the recent re-introduction of beavers to a proposed hydrogen plant, environmental debates and rural development,' Mr Smith said. 'I want to tap into those, not just to document them, but to encourage wider engagement with the combination of both understanding and questions they raise.'

He published his first book in 2023, a 'personal and unique' perspective of the Northern Cairngorms. The photography book captures a collection of almost 70 wilderness, mountain and environmental images depicting the six years that Mr Smith has lived and worked in the area, many taken during winter.

Miss Manners: Another reminder that ‘Ms.' exists is useful
Dear Miss Manners: Suppose Miss Jones marries Mr. Smith and decides, for whatever reason, to retain her maiden name. She is still deserving of the married honorific, is she not? Is 'Mr. Smith and Mrs. Jones,' therefore, the proper form to put on an envelope, to be followed by street address, city and state?

The One-Liner Snapshot Your Team Actually Needs
This transcript has been edited for clarity. Let's talk about the one-liner. This sentence kicks off every patient presentation and sets the tone for everything that follows. A solid one-liner should include four key things: name, age, relevant medical history, and reason for admission or encounter. Think of it like a quick snapshot that tells your team, 'Here's who we're talking about.' For example: "Mr Smith is a 68-year-old man with a history of hypertension, diabetes, and prior stroke who was admitted for evaluation of chest pain." That is clear, efficient, and already gives the team a clinical frame. You can also tailor the level of detail to the setting, such as more concise for morning rounds or a little more detail for consults or handoff. Always ask yourself what context the team needs to understand the patientright now. There are obviously nuances to this, and different specialties may have some other additions. In general, a strong one-liner shows you understand the case and helps everyone stay oriented — because clarity is everything in medicine.
