If you are driving from Stirling to the Cairngorms or Inverness, there is a short scenic route that you can take from Greenloaning to Ballinluig.
It’s a beautiful drive and you’ll get to see beautiful landscapes, charming villages, gardens, and waterfalls.
It takes a bit more time than with the A9 but it’s well worth it!
Here are some of the places that are also worth stopping at.
🚗 Need a car for this road trip?
If you don’t have your own car, I’d really recommend renting one — it gives you the flexibility to stop at each waterfall and explore at your own pace.
I usually use DiscoverCars to compare prices and find the best deals across different rental companies.
👉 It’s really easy to use:
- Compare multiple providers in one place
- Cheaper than booking direct
- Free cancellation on most options
- Their 3rd party insurance is a lot cheaper
- They have a great customer service for claims (though I hope you won’t have to use it!
