Rephotography - Devil鈥檚 Elbow, Glenshee
Landscape photographer Colin Prior and Dougie Vipond continue their exploration of the ever-changing Scottish landscape. Dougie attempts to negotiate Glenshee's notorious double hairpin bend known as the Devil's Elbow in a traditional form of transport which has royal approval.
The original photo shows the Queen鈥檚 Daimler driving up the Devil鈥檚 elbow with Prince Philip at the wheel. The road leads up to the Cairnwell Pass, the UK鈥檚 highest main road, travelling along the Devil鈥檚 elbow was quite an adventure.
The sharp hairpin bends and the 1 in 3 gradient where not for the faint hearted. In the 1960鈥檚 the road was straightened, but some of the original road is still visible next to the main road.
