The A9 is Scotland’s longest road, stretching through the heart
of the Highlands. It’s a route travelled daily by thousands — but
it also carries a darker reputation.

In this follow-up to my episode on the haunted A75, Dark Miles, I
trace the length of the A9, uncovering ghost stories that cling
to the road and the landscapes around it. From death omens in
Pitlochry and the witch of Beinn a’ Ghlo, to phantom whistles in
Glen Tilt and a modern woman in white near Drumossie Brae, the
accounts are as varied as they are disturbing.

While the story follows the road north, I also take some detours
into places I know well and love to walk — glens, mountains, and
old haunts where folklore and personal memory blur. What emerges
is not just a road of traffic and tarmac, but one that seems to
carry echoes of history, oppression, and tragedy.
