A939 road

Encyclopedia : A : A9 : A93 : A939 road

The A939 connects the A96 at Nairn on the Moray Coast with the A95 Grantown on Spey, then it continues to the A93 at Ballater by way of the Grampian Mountains, passing Tomintoul and the Lecht Ski Centre.

This road passes over four summits:

at Dava Moor 1053ft (321m),
west of Bridge of Brown 1436ft (438m),
at the Lecht Ski Centre 2090ft (637m),
at the Gairnshiel Summit 1836ft (550m).

On the old A939, now redsignated the B976 between Gairnshiel Bridge and Crathes, the road reaches 1568ft (478m). It is regularly the first road in Great Britain closed due to snowfall between Cock Bridge and Tomintoul.
