Pass of Killiecrankie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Three miles north of Pitlochry by the A9 road, the Scottish Pass of Killiecrankie (Gaelic: Coille Chneagaidh), is a mountain pass between 2757 ft (830 m) Ben Vrackie and Tenandry Hill in Perth and Kinross on the River Garry.[1]
The river-gorge traverses the pass over the course of a mile, and above it, the road and the railway, with the village of Killiecrankie at the north end.
About a mile toward the village of Killiecrankie, the Battle of Killiecrankie took place in 1689.[2]
