Kincraig HouseThe Kincraig House Hotel, taken from the 'yellow brick road'. In the foreground, just as the road curves to the left, is the bridge over the 'Black Ditch'. The traffic is on the A9 trunk road.

Funny how things change, in my youth this was (and is still called as far as I know) the 'Concrete' road. I'd never heard it called the Yellow Brick road before. I still use it as a rat run up to the A9 to try and avoid the chaos that is the Tomich Junction on many a morning!!

I too have always known this road as the 'concrete road', with the 'bumpy road' between the Polish War Memorial and the BA Straight. Anyone know why/when the 'yellow brick road' moniker was used?

Yeah I always knew this road as the "concrete road". Must say I never remember it looking so glorious, what a picture!!!

We used to go fishing under the bridge. I can’t remember if it was Rainbow or Brown Trout in the river. I always knew the road as the 'bumpy road'. Many a happy day on the motorbikes and mopeds.

Another great picture!! I love to see these views as they bring back so many good memories. It's a pity I took it all for granted when I lived there.

I always called it the Concrete road too, and the other one was the bumpy road. As children my Dad would take us for a run on the bumpy road as a treat or a reward for being good!! Times must have been hard for this to be our treat!!!

Wow it looks really nice...haven't seen it look so...well nice before!
I'm a 15 year old from Invergordon and I still call it the concrete path...haven't heard it being called the yellow brick road before but maybe I'm too old!
I use it to visit my friend in Tomich all the time.
