Dalwhinnie

[anda]

Turn of the A9 at Dalwhinnie, and use car park on right hand side just passed the tourist info office (defunct?). Recycling bins there, also used by lorry drivers. Quiet and level tarred. Quarter of a mile further into Dalwhinnie on teh right are public toilets with a drinking water tap on the outside wall.

Thanks anda,
we will be up that way ourselves later in the year, a useful bit of info, and if we haven't already done so we say welcome to the site.

ahhh...Dalwhinnie... brings back memories...
we stayed on the ben alder estate parked up behind the estate managers lodge...









only becouse my companion for the trip is an old friend of his .. so can't recommend it in general terms...
except if you do park up in the town you must walk lock ericht
dawn or dusk... magnificent

regards

those toilets are part of the community centre & can be entered from the outside.
there is a sign on the outside wall saying
"UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE CHEMICAL TOILETS TO BE EMPTIED"
