The go-ahead has been given to dual part of the A9 through Highland Perthshire land where a famous battle was fought following years of local concern over the site’s preservation.
Transport minister Jenny Gilruth has approved the statutory procedures for the dualling of a 22km stretch between Killiecrankie and Glen Garry.
The milestone follows calls to accelerate the A9 Dualling project after 14 people died on the route in 2022 so far.
