ROYAL DEESIDE
A fairly long trip by the route that we suggest, but
takes in the Lecht Road from Grantown, down to Balmoral, then on to Braemar, Glenshee and
Blair Atholl

Balmoral Castle (c) Phil Banks |
Follow the old A9 towards Kingussie and on through
Aviemore, turning right onto the A95 for Grantown on Spey. Turn right at the roundabout
before Grantown, then right again, over the River Spey. After a mile or so, turn right
again onto the A939 to Tomintoul. Watch out for the A939 turning left in the middle of
Tomintoul - stay on the 939 for the Lecht Ski Area, pass through the ski area and down to
Cock Bridge. |
|
Shortly after Cock Bridge, look out for the A939 bearing sharp right over the
River Don - don't carry straight on onto the A944 down Strathdon. As you come down towards
Deeside, turn onto the B976 down to Balmoral and Crathie - explore here awhile and look
out for a Royal Presence. Follow the A93 to Braemar, where you can stop for a break and a
cuppa or a meal, then follow the A93 through the Glenshee Ski Area down to Spittal of
Glenshee, then keep a lookout for the B950 on your right for Pitlochry, turning right when
you meet the B924, which takes you into Pitlochry, where you can stop and visit the Salmon
Ladder at the Dam. Head north out of Pitlochry to join the A9 and return home.
