The Devil's Elbow on an old alignment of the A93 in Gleann Beag near Glenshee Ski Centre, as seen in February 2008.
Looking down towards the lower hairpin.

Looking from the current road, where the upper of the two hairpins would have been, all that is left of the old road here is a dirt track as the new road has been built over it.

Stunning scenery. The road leads off to the Devils Elbow. A bit of an old alignment can be seen on the left of the picture.

I think this sign is aimed at motorcyclists

Tracks taken up and abandoned on a former alignment of the A93 (current route runs just yards away to the left). The railway used to run along the North bank of the Dee from Aberdeen to Ballater. OP Paul

View from beneath Old Invercauld Bridge looking NNW onto the new Bridge of Dee on the A93. These two bridges are split by the grid line NO1891 and NO1890
Looking northeast, from the current alignment, down to the bottom hairpin.

Looking south, this is one half of the old Devil's elbow double hairpin at Glenshee. I can't remember how we got onto it from the current alignment (which is to the right of the picture, above my dad's then car!). The second harpin would've been up at the top of the hill, bending round to the right.

This section had a narrow bridge with traffic lights before it was bypassed.

Springbank Terrace (also the A93) has an interesting asymmetry with the terrace on the north side (pictured) having large front gardens/parking areas, whereas the similar terrace on the south side of the street faces right onto the pavement. Part of Archibald Simpson's planned developments from ca. 1820s. The whole street is C-listed (downgraded from B): <a title='http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/sc-20510-1-15-inclusive-nos-springbank-terrace-and' rel='nofollow' href='http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/sc-20510-1-15-inclusive-nos-springbank-terrace-and'>Link</a><img style='padding-left:2px;' alt='External link' title='External link - shift click to open in new window' src='http://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png' width='10' height='10'/> . This is right on the borderline between city centre and suburb and I've plumped for the latter for its geographical context.
