Old alignment of the A9, Chapelbank The road on the right is the old curving climb up Cairnie Braes, out of Strath Earn. It is now signposted as a core path which hopefully means that the obstruction halfway up has long gone. The road to Gask on the left is a far more brutal affair. Signposted as 20% but it felt like was slightly less steep.
