Winter Road Trip Drive North On A9 To Moulin Highland Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video of a Winter road trip drive, with Scottish music, North on the A9 to visit Moulin in Highland Perthshire. Robert Louis Stevenson, the Scottish novelist and travel writer, stayed at Fishers Hotel in Pitlochry in June 1881 with his wife Fanny and his mother. They then moved to Kinnaird Cottage in Moulin. Here Stevenson worked on the short stories, Thrawn Janet, The Merry Men, and The Body Snatcher. The A9 is 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. Historically it was the main road between Edinburgh and John o' Groats, and has been called the spine of Scotland. Drive with great care and patience on this road as it regularly appears in lists of Scotland's most dangerous roads
