The bridge ahead carries the A9 past the village. Oh! how the Scottish Government must wish that the A9 had been dualled all the way from Perth to Inverness when it was first improved. The extensive two-lane stretches are usually long, sweeping bends with inadequate visibility to overtake when oncoming traffic is also doing at least 60mph (to say nothing of the fact that the road is now so busy that there are rarely any gaps). It is gradually being upgraded but this must be an expensive process - also painfully slow, a bit like driving along it often is.
