Sunday 13 October 2019--I've complained on numerous occasions about the long drive from Edinburgh to Craigellachie, and I'm going to do so again. There are three basic routes, and I should just bomb up the A9 and get it done—it's only about three hours that way. But I hate the road, which has a tedious succession of roundabouts along one section, and long stretches of two-lane road farther north, where you inevitably get stuck behind slow-moving trucks. The A90 up the east coast isn't much better, although there are more interesting places to stop along the way, if you want to take the time. (Dundee isn't one of them.) The middle route, up the A93 to Braemar and on through the Cairngorms, is the shortest of the three in terms of mileage, but the longest in time. It's probably the least aggravating and most scenic, but I've done it a lot and am tired of it. Instead, I've charted a route on secondary roads, skirting the Cairngorms, west of the A90, and we're rewarded with some very nice and mostly unfamiliar scenery, none of which I stop to photograph. In fact, after arriving in Craigellachie and having dinner and a few pints in the Highlander, I realize, along toward 10:00pm, that I haven't taken a single photograph all day. I figure I'd better step out onto the street and take one or two.
