The Speyside Way is waymarked with a white Scottish thistle, identical to that used on all the other official Long Distance Routes in Scotland (West Highland Way, Great Glen Way and Southern Upland Way). These waymarks appear most often on wooden posts. The Tomintoul Spur is similarly waymarked, but the trails of the Dufftown Loop between Aberlour, Dufftown and Craigellachie do not carry the thistle waymarking. Where the Way crosses public roads and at other important junctions along the route, special Speyside Way signposts have been erected, often indicating the distance to the next village along the route. The Speyside Way has its official logo, and this appears on Speyside Way waymarks, signposts and information boards.

The Dava Way, MCT and Moray Way are all waymarked with distinctive logos (see above). The Dava Way carries a triangular logo, depicting a railway viaduct and a bootprint, and the MCT has a distinctive fulmar logo. The sections of the Speyside Way, Dava Way and the MCT that make up the circular Moray Way carry, in addition to their individual trail waymarks and signposts, a special Moray Way logo, which consists of an inverted triangle, with a hiking man symbol, plus a wheel and horseshoe design, within it. The Badenoch Way has simple circular waymarks showing a directional arrow with the words ‘Badenoch Way’ around the perimeter. There are also numerous signposts or fingerposts on all four trails carrying the trail name and/or logo, reassuring the walker or cyclist that he or she is on the line of the named Way, and usually indicating a distance to the next village, town or amenity.
