I had been wanting to visit the cairngorms for ages and finally had the chance last weekend. The drive up with the scenery and as you go higher it is stunning. Was only in and out a wee while it was bitter cold with snow and ice still. Can't wait to go back a visit when it's a little warmer to visit all over and enjoy a good old camping trip....

Splendid and amazing views from the top. The ride itself was breathtaking.
The colors and lines naturally created by the landscape are amazing.
Too bad I had to catch my flight. I cpuld not go on the trails and walk there.

Great route if travelling from the Dundee area or similar - worth the slight detour. It's not the west coast, but you experience the highlands without having to put on any boots. If you are doing a whistle stop your of the East coast, this is worth a stop by.

Amazing Scottish countryside, great for driving through or cycling ( wouldn't recommend if you are a novice on a bike as the hills are murder). Plenty of view points for photos. This road can be treacherous in the winter, so check weatger report before driving up knto the snow.

Breathtakingly beautiful views, especially at sunrise. Plenty of parking at two locations.

Cairn o' Mount Old Military Rd is a great place to visit if you're interested in military history. It was once part of the main British army camp in Scotland, and it's full of memorials and other artifacts from that time period. There are also plenty of other historical sites nearby, so if you're looking for something a little more off-the-beaten-path, this is a great place to start!

Why are there not 6 stars to rate this place, if you can't climb a hill but want to experience amazing views of Aberdeenshire and Angus this is a fantastic place to stop when the view is clear.
The road is a challenging drive but fun, I'm not a motorcyclist but I would imagine it would be a great terrain to experience on one, also it looks very popular for cyclists.
This is a road you should put in your bucket list
