Inveralmond Roundabout
Inveralmond Roundabout is a major traffic roundabout in Perth, Scotland. Located approximately north-northwest of the city centre, it is the meeting point of the A912 Dunkeld Road (at the northern terminus of its route to and from the city centre) and the more prominent A9 road, which changes between being east–west running to north–south, picking up its historic route after skirting the city via a bypass. It is one of Perth's two major roundabouts, the other being at Broxden Junction, where the A9 merges with the M90, to the south-southwest. The roundabout is so named due to its proximity to the River Almond, which flows under the A9 around to the north, approximately west of its confluence with the River Tay The River Tay ( gd, Tatha, ; probably from the conjectured Brythonic ''Tausa'', possibly meaning 'silent one' or 'strong one' or, simply, 'flowing') is the longest river in Scotland and the seventh-longest in Great Britain.

M90 Motorway
The M90 is a motorway in Scotland. It runs from Junction 1A of the M9 motorway, south of the Queensferry Crossing, to Perth. It is the northernmost motorway in the United Kingdom. The northern point goes to the western suburbs of Perth at Broxden. A small part of the M90 (across the Friarton Bridge to the southeast of Perth) was originally numbered as the M85 motorway. History The first section of the M90 opened in 1964 to coincide with the opening of the Forth Road Bridge and Masterton junction (Junction 2). The next section of the M90, the Crossgates – Kelty and Cowdenbeath Bypass, opened on 1 December 1969. The stretch between Kinross and the Milnathort Bypass opened in December 1971. The following two sections were due to begin construction around 1973 and 1974, however, they were put on hold because of the 1973 oil crisis. The section from Arlary (Junction 8 with A91) to Arngask was opened in March 1977. Arngask (Glenfarg) to Muirmont opened in August 1980, connec ...

Scone, Scotland
Scone (; gd, Sgàin; sco, Scuin) is a town in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The medieval town of Scone, which grew up around the monastery and royal residence, was abandoned in the early 19th century when the residents were removed and a new palace was built on the site by the Earl of Mansfield. Hence the modern village of Scone, and the medieval village of Old Scone, can often be distinguished. Both sites lie in the historical province of Gowrie, as well as the old county of Perthshire. Old Scone was the historic capital of the Kingdom of Scotland. In the Middle Ages it was an important royal centre, used as a royal residence and as the coronation site of the kingdom's monarchs. Around the royal site grew the town of Perth and the Abbey of Scone. Scone and Scotland Scone's association with kings and king-making gave it various epithets in Gaelic poetry; for instance, ''Scoine sciath-airde'', "Scone of the High Shields", and ', "Scone of the Noisy Shields".

The A93 is a major road in Scotland and the highest public road in the United Kingdom. It runs north from Perth through Blairgowrie and Rattray, then through the Grampian Mountains by way of Glenshee, the Cairnwell Pass and Glen Clunie to Braemar in Aberdeenshire. At Braemar, the road then switches east down the strath of the River Dee before crossing the A90 and terminating in Aberdeen.

Cross Tay Link Road
The Cross Tay Link Road is a road-construction project in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It will link the A93 and A94 roads, near Scone, to the A9 north of the Inveralmond Roundabout, at Perth, via a new stretch of road, long. It will involve a three-span bridge over Scotland's longest river, the Tay, hence the project's name. A cycle path will run parallel to the bridge's carriageway. The project, which is expected to cost £118 million, is the second phase of the Perth Transport Futures Project, which was formed to "address the key issues identified in the Perth Traffic and Transport Issues Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance". Perth & Kinross Council (PKC) stated that the project would "unlock key development land". Study A 2010 study predicted that traffic increases would exceed Perth's capacity, while also highlighting physical limitations caused by local geography (such as Kinnoull Hill and the River Tay) and existing infrastructure (such as the Highland Main Line ...

Broxden Junction
Broxden Junction (also known as Broxden Roundabout or Broxden Interchange) is one of the busier and more important road junctions in Scotland. It is located on the outskirts of Perth, and is one of the city's two major roundabouts – the other being Inveralmond Roundabout, where the A9 meets the A912 Dunkeld Road, to the north-northwest. The roundabout, oval in shape, is an important hub of the Scottish road network, a major junction on the A9 north–south route, and the UK's northernmost motorway junction, being junction 12 of the M90 motorway.

A9 Road (Scotland)
The A9 is a major road in Scotland running from the Falkirk council area in central Scotland to Scrabster Harbour, Thurso in the far north, via Stirling, Bridge of Allan, Perth and Inverness. At 273 miles (439 km), it is the longest road in Scotland and the fifth-longest A-road in the United Kingdom. Historically it was the main road between Edinburgh and John o' Groats, and has been called ''the spine of Scotland''. It is one of the three major north–south trunk routes linking the Central Belt to the Highlands - the others being the A82 and the A90. The road's origins lie in the military roads building programme of the 18th century, further supplemented by the building of several bridges in later years.
