The River Spey is a river in the northeast of Scotland. At 98 mi it is the eighth longest river in the United Kingdom, as well as the second longest and fastest-flowing river in Scotland. It is important for salmon fishing and whisky production.
The origin of the name Spey is uncertain. A possible etymological genesis for the name Spey is Early Celtic *skwej-, meaning "thorn". The involvement of a Pictish form of Welsh ysbyddad, meaning "hawthorn", has been suggested, but adjudged unlikely. One proposal is a derivation from a Pictish cognate of Old Gaelic sceïd, "vomit" , which is dubious both on phonological and semantic grounds. Ptolemy named the river on his map of c. 150 as Tuesis. The name 'Spey' first appears in 1451.
