Geocache Description:

A series of caches on our favourite part of the A9 between Perth and Carrbridge. Set at places where you can stop, have a rest & enjoy the scenery.

Please note we have labelled these caches for north or south bound so that you do not need to cross the A9 to reach them. The exception is Tufty's Playtime at Ballinluig which can be accessed either way thanks to a flyover.


Turn left at A889 to Dalwhinnie then park at end of cycle path on the left.

Dalwhinnie sits at an altitude of 351 m. It is one of the coldest villages in the UK, having an average annual temperature of 6.6oC, making it suitable for winter walking and mountaineering. It is north of Drumochter just off the A9 from Perth to Inverness and has been by-passed since 1975.

The local distillery is the highest-elevation working distillery in Scotland -  Dalwhinnie Single Malt is a light, heathery whisky.

The area is teeming with wildlife and there are walks along the River Truim and in the Cairngorm and Monadhliath Mountains in the Cairngorm National Park.

You are looking for a small lock N lock box in a cammo bag.

Cache box has some swaps and room for small trackables or coins. Note the 'bean' pen is not a swap and stays with the cache.

The ground can be rather boggy here so you might be better to follow fence lines as much as possible - or use wellies laugh
