Taking up over half the land area of Scotland, the Grampian Mountains are a mighty natural barrier that separates the Northern Highlands from Scotlandβs central belt. To connect the key cities of Edinburgh and Inverness, both the A9 and the Highland Railway had to find a way through this massive chain.
Several passes provide through-routes and youβd think road and railway would take the shortest, but this is not the case.
If you are driving north, by the time youβve reached this viewpoint, the road has taken a long loop west and is about to curve back east. We are now at the 460m-high Drumochter Pass.
