Parallel roads In the foreground is a single-track farm road - a white diamond can be seen marking a passing place. Beyond is the dual carriageway A9, with the green buildings of the Highland Spring bottling plant on the other side. The picture was taken from the start of the footpath to Tillicoultry.

A9, Approaching the Blackford Turnoff 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.
