Heading north on the A9 over Kessock Bridge, there is no problem.
I have used it when my wife is in hospital in Inverness.
Heading south, just before the bridge, there are height barriers, no toilets, no water.
Area was taken over some time back by the unntaxed and uninsured. A combination of police & local authority moved them on to bring joy to others elsewhere.

"Untaxed"...
We regularly see the "untaxed" vehicles getting what's due to them when the Police hold practical press conferences for us Toggies to promote the squashing of the offending vehicle, quite a sight to see anything from a clapped out Sierra through to a 51 reg Mégane getting squished!

Untaxed
My post referred to "untaxed and uninsured"...while some may have sympathy with the first group, am I supposed to believe that driving uninsured IS acceptable?

My comment about "untaxed and uninsured" had nothing to do with any group other than the one I spoke of who were using the picnic area on the southward side of the A9 north of Inverness....and whose behaviour has now closed the site to legitimate users, blocking access provided at considerable public expense to a superb walking area.
The police were stopping drivers for road checks near this area, but were "unwilling" to examine the "travellers" vehicles despite their totally dilapidated appearance, some displaying beer mats instead of tax discs, the wreckage and damage on the site and the threatening behaviour of this group to any who pulled in to what is a legitimate rest area.
The excuse was the need to "maintain public order".
