Signs for the A9 dualling project being put up north of Perth.
The owner of an historic Perthshire estate has mounted a bid to reroute the Scottish Government’s mammoth £3 billion A9 dualling plan.
Millionaire landowner Iain Stewart-Ferguson, custodian of the Dunfallandy Estate near Pitlochry, is refusing to sell land for a four-mile section of the ambitious trunk road upgrade.
Transport Scotland is using compulsory purchase powers to secure crucial roadside sites along the Pitlochry to Killecrankie stretch.
