Tom Walker's Iveco Stralis (SP12 BKN) passes layby number 96 on the A9 in Glen Truim.

As you travel along the A9, there is a series of laybys at fairly regular intervals on both sides of the road between Perth and Cromarty Bridge. These laybys are numbered consecutively from south to north. The layby furthest north is number 200.

The A9

The A9 is a strategic link between the Highlands of Scotland and the Central Belt. Running for 273 miles, it is the longest road in Scotland and the fifth-longest A-road in the United Kingdom. Historically it was the main road between Edinburgh and John o' Groats but its importance has been eclipsed somewhat in the south by the A90 across the Forth Road Bridge and the M90 motorway, which now links Edinburgh more directly with Perth, and the M9, which is now the main road between Edinburgh and Bridge of Allan.
