Scenic Drive. Pitlochry, Perth and Kinross to Braemar (Bràigh Mhàrr), Ballater, Scotland, UK

Take this scenic car journey from Pitlochry to Braemar, right at the start of the Cairngorms.

Braemar, or Bràigh Mhàrr in Gaelic, is a small town situated in the Scottish Highlands, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It is a lovely, tranquil place and is surrounded by the Cairngorms. At an altitude of 339 metres (1,110 ft), it isn't the highest town in Scotland, but must be one of the more populated.

You drive through some of the most beautiful scenery Scotland has to offer on the A93 road and is a delightful journey in the summer, when the days are long and there isn't any snow.

Being in the Highlands, it is prone to the elements and when bad weather sets in, you soon know about it.

We also pass the Glenshee Ski Centre, which is the largest ski resort in Scotland and must get heavily populated by tourists and Ski lovers alike during the winter months.

Another note being that on that road, notice the wooden poles on either side of the road, being a sign that they get significant snow falls and is a guide for snow ploughs.
