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"

Bet you didn't hear his teely either cos there ain't a picture to be had. Missed the footie a few years back!

[foxyscot]

we have stoped here before good spot, get a few cars stopping to dump bottles and news papers,also as said one or two lorries tend to stop here,
nice level area,

Stayed here for one night on way up north..great place for a stop over..yes it is used by lorries but no bother..was about 6 when we were there..none when we got up....better than pulling into a layby on the A9 as we saw some others had.
Also the other place by the distillery looked not too bad either.
