Tour Scotland 4K Winter travel video of a dreich, which is a Scots word for dull, misty and cloudy weather, road trip drive, with Scottish music, from Pitlochry on the A9 road South to visit Ballinluig Junction, Highland, Perthshire. When driving in Scotland, slow down and enjoy the trip. Officially, the Scottish winter runs from the 21st of December through to the 20th March. 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. Ballinluig Junction is where the A827 meets the A9 a few miles south of Pitlochry. As originally built, when the A9 was dualled, the junction was a simple at-grade turning from the A9, with a break in the central barrier. The most unusual thing was that the A827 actually crossed the A9 before the physical junction. However, in recent years the junction has been re-modelled to remove the central crossing.
