A97 road

The A97 is a major road in Scotland. It runs from near Huntly in Aberdeenshire to Banff on the Moray Firth coast.

The road provides a significant transport link for communities in rural Aberdeenshire and Moray, connecting them to larger towns and cities. It traverses a variety of landscapes, including agricultural land, moorland, and coastal areas.

The A97 is generally a single carriageway road. Motorists using the A97 should be aware of potential hazards common to rural roads in Scotland, such as farm traffic, livestock, and adverse weather conditions, particularly during winter months. It is maintained by Transport Scotland.
