The dual carriageway on the top of the Gask Ridge and running through an extensive area of woodland. The road links several minor roads, but no attempt has been made to provide a safe passage for non motorised traffic, save for the wide verges which are easy to walk. There are no shoulders or pathways. You would never need to be on the road for long, but to access roads the minor road system or cross the A9 you will have to use it. Sometimes the old road is available, but in at least one place the locals have made a lot of effort to discourage its use.
