course
The A97 branches off from the A98 on the southern edge of Banff . It initially runs in a south-westerly direction through a sparsely populated region of Aberdeenshire . After about 13 km you will reach Aberchirder, the first notable town. Further south, the A97 crosses the Deveron , the course of which it followed for the first few kilometers. Continuing in a south-westerly direction, it finally reaches the A96 and is led along with it for a short distance. It runs through the center of Huntly and then follows the course of the Bogie southwards , which it crosses beyond Rhynie . At Glenkindie , the A97 follows the course of the Don in a wide loop and finally crosses it. From there, running in a south-southeast direction, the road passes a few more hamlets before it finally joins the A93 in Dinnet after a total of 91 km. With the exception of a short stretch beyond the crossing of the Deveron, which runs through Moray , the A97 runs exclusively in Aberdeenshire.
