Starting from
Newlands, A94 northeast of New Scone
'This old road is depicted very clearly in John Adair's map of 1683. Maps tended to show only the very important roads in the 17th and 18th century, so it must have been of great significance. Indeed according to Adair, it was the only route running north out of Perth on the east side of the Tay and as such would have seen a great deal of traffic.'

'Turnpike roads were the first attempt by the Government to make the road users pay for the upkeep of roads, so they are characterised by having toll points. It is interesting to note that this is still the primary method for maintaining the road network as car users pay road tax.'
