A93 road

Encyclopedia : A : A9 : A93 : A93 road

The A93 is a major road in Scotland. It runs north from Perth through Blairgowrie and Rattray, then through the Grampian Mountains to Braemar in Aberdeenshire. At the Cairnwell Pass, on the border between Aberdeenshire and Perthshire, north of Glen Shee and just south of the Glenshee Ski Centre, the road reaches the altitude of 2199ft (670m), making it the highest main road in the United Kingdom. It is often closed by snow in winter. At Braemar, the road then switches east down the strath of the River Dee, via Ballater, Aboyne, Banchory and Peterculter before terminating in Aberdeen.
