Slug Road
The Slug Road (A957) is a 13-mile road in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1] It runs from Stonehaven in the Mearns to Banchory in Deeside, crossing a spur of the Grampians. The pass through which it runs is known as the Slug (from the Gaelic word sloc, meaning "hollow")[2] and lies between the hills Craigbeg and Cairn-mon-earn.[3]
Lewis Grassic Gibbon describes the Guthrie family travelling along the Slug Road in bad weather as they move to Kinraddie in his novel Sunset Song.
