  A9 road - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The A9 is a major road in Scotland, which runs from Edinburgh to Thurso and the A836.
The road here is close to the North Sea coast, which it follows for a further 15 miles (23 kilometres), passing through Berriedale and Dunbeath to reach Latheron.
At Latheron the road has a junction with the A99 which offers a coastal route towards Wick and John O Groats.

In Thurso the A9 has junctions with two other classified roads, the A836 and the B874, and about 8 kilometres (5 miles) south of Thurso the A9 has a locally important junction with the A882 (ND156601 (http://www.rhaworth.myby.co.uk/oscoor_a.htm?ND156601_region:GB_scale:25000)), which leads towards Wick.

 YourArt.com >> Encyclopedia >> A9 road   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The A9 is a major road running from the Falkirk council area in central Scotland to Thurso in the far north, via Stirling, Bridge of Allan, Perth and Inverness.
Historically it was the main road between Edinburgh and John o' Groats, and has been called the spine of Scotland.
The 113 mile section between Bridge of Allan and Inverness, via Perth, was substantially rebuilt during the 1970s, 80s and early 90s, but it follows essentially the same route, except where it skirts towns and villages instead of running through their centres.

 A836 road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A836 here is east-west aligned, and Struie Wood is in fact woodland south of the road.
East of the River Thurso the road regains its own identity and is there linked south by the A9 to the A836 itself near Tain, and to Inverness, Perth and Falkirk.
The road's length terminates in John o' Groats, where it is linked south/southeast by the A99 to Wick and to the A9 at Latheron.

 Ardgay to Lairg
The road bends round to the right by a handful of cottages to cross the Shin by a smart new bridge immediately south of the old one (which is dangerous and should not be visited).
The road is single track with passing places, it bends quite a lot, and it's fairly well hemmed in by trees with the occasional glimpse of the river Shin nearby on the right.
The road becomes screened by trees again and the loch is hidden, but before long the road passes a number of "Welcome to Lairg" signs, with the Gaelic version of Lairg being spelt a different way on each.

 Walk #536: Meikle Ferry to Dornoch Ferry Inn
Continue along the road as it crosses the railway line and passes the station into the village, and then turns to the left of head southeastwards along the southern shore of the Dornoch Firth through Kincardine.
Follow the road as it curves around to the right to head southwards, passing over the railway line before ending at a T-junction with the A836 road in Edderton.
Turn left and follow the A836 road eastwards for a few miles until just before the roundabout with the A9(T) is reached, where a track leads off to the left past a campsite and the Dornoch Bridge Inn.

The B road, which is a Roman road, also becomes part of a National Cycle Route as it passes Shawbury Airfield and then goes south before veering back towards the A51 near the hamlet of Bings Heath.
The road goes through the heart of the old North Somerset mining area and is rich with industrial history but having done the route constantly for the past 12 years, there will be little new to see.
The road through that village goes past the football ground which is one of the prettier ones around and to Cullompton, passing over the M5 twice more before hitting the outskirts of Exeter.

 Walk #528: Melvich to Thurso
I did divert off the road for the first section, however, as there is a nice footbridge over the Halladale River that I could use.
I left the A836 road and passed the Hill of Lybster (complete with two wind turbines) on a track before coming to a large and imposing metal fence that was being pulled down by contractors.

 Hastigrow to John O'Groats
Much of it lays along the unclassified moorland road between Hastigrow and Gills that runs dead straight for eight miles, and in fact this is the longest straight stretch of the entire End-to-End walk.
There's a final bend in the road, just by the only coastal inlet of note along this stretch; there are three or four cottages here but the map gives no information other than the bland legend, "mill (corn)".
Directly ahead of you is the Sea View hotel, and a signboard at the road junction finally points you towards John O'Groats; bizarrely, it directs you away from the village proper and down towards the visitor centre, about 600m along the road to the left.

When you parked on the verges of the single track road, and walked down to the old harbour, past the one, wooden souvenir shop and the signpost to Land’s End, and maybe nipped into the John o’Groats Hotel for a reviving beer and a sandwich.
There’s little indication of it except a lay-by on the north side of the road, but keep your eye on the map and you’ll find it.
The Castle itself is not visible from the main road, being screened by one of the few woodlands to have established successfully in this somewhat inhospitable climate.

Even with allowance for the greater number and size of turbines, and the possibility of excess noise from remaining mechanical problems, I was surprised that at Westerdale (grid ref. ND 127516), in conditions of light west to south-westerly breeze, noise was perceptible from the Causeymire windfarm some 2.4 km to the south-east.
I recognise that in terms of closeness to the sea and to a main road, and lack of sheltering vegetation or microtopography, the nearest houses to the appeal site are not likely to be closely comparable to Westerdale in regard to background noise levels.
