Slochd

Slochd lies on the A9 about 25km south of Inverness, serving as a key waypoint for Highland travel. The A9 connects it to the central belt southbound and the far north via Inverness. With roughly 14 EV charging points nearby, it's become a practical stop for electric vehicle owners tackling long Highland journeys. The settlement sits at Slochd Summit, the A9's highest point at 401 metres, marked by a distinctive road sign that's become a proper Highland landmark.
