The Clans who once lived in this area included the Clan MacDonald, Clan Menzies, Clan MacGregor, Clan MacDougall, Clan Cameron, Clan Robertson and Clan Stewart. The route has evolved over five centuries from ancient pathways to a modern trunk road. Before formal construction, much of the route followed " drove roads " used to move livestock between the Highlands and Lowlands. Following the Jacobite uprisings, General George Wade oversaw the construction of military roads to transport troops and supplies between forts. Engineer Thomas Telford transformed the rugged route in the early 19th century, building over 1,000 bridges and nearly 900 miles of new road to improve Highland communication. With the rise of the motorcar, the route was formally designated the A9. It originally ran from Edinburgh to Inverness. The A9 is now a major road running from central Scotland to Scrabster Harbour, Thurso in the far north, via Stirling, Bridge of Allan, Perth and Inverness. At 273 miles, it is the longest road in Scotland and the fifth longest A road in the United Kingdom.

Drive with great care and patience on this road as it regularly appears in lists of Scotland's most dangerous roads.
