A9, Birnam Wood

The A9 is a strategic link between the Highlands of Scotland and the Central Belt. Running for 273 miles, it is the longest road in Scotland and the fifth-longest A-road in the United Kingdom. Historically it was the main road between Edinburgh and John o' Groats but its importance has been eclipsed somewhat in the south by the A90 across the Forth Road Bridge and the M90 motorway, which now links Edinburgh more directly with Perth, and the M9, which is now the main road between Edinburgh and Bridge of Allan.

The deployment of Orange traffic cones has temporarily reduced the northbound carriageway of the A9 to a single lane.

Traffic jam on the A9

On December 27th, inclement weather combined with the heavy traffic to cause a quite epic traffic jam on the A9. Several miles of traffic at walking speed around Dunkeld, just before one of the sections that has not been dualled yet.

"Roman" Bridge over Birnam Burn

This bridge carried the carriage drive from Murthly Castle westwards to Birnam. It was begun in 1832 but only completed in 1858, for a total cost of £1,019 5/3d. The bridge has six arches over a deep ravine and was deliberately 'antiqued' to give the impression of a Roman aqueduct. (There was a strong Roman presence in the area circa AD 85 with a huge fort at Inchtuthill just a few miles down the Tay.)

Viewpoint over the River Tay

This crenelated picnic spot has a view up river to Birnam Hill and also overlooks Boat of Murthly Cottage. It was once a stopping point on the carriage road from Birnam to Murthly Castle and can now be enjoyed as part of the core path following the Tay through Murthly estate.

A Very Rural Turnstile

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition . . . or to pech to the top of a rocky crag and have to negotiate a turnstile. Neatly in the frame is the Buffalo Hut, a very stylish bothy so called by locals as it sits in the park on the slope of Birnam Hill where Sir William Drummond Stewart kept a small herd of American Bison. Souvenirs of his adventures with the Mountain Men across the Great Plains and into the Rockies in the 1830s.
