The Lecht Road

---

Beside Corgarff is the hamlet of Cock Bridge, standing at the end of one the most beautiful and notorious stretches of road in the country. In winter, the Tomintoul to Cock Bridge road is almost always the first road in Scotland to be blocked by snow. From Cock Bridge the A939 rises steeply to the Lecht Pass (2,089 ft) before dropping dramatically to Tomintoul, the highest village in the Highlands.
