Broxden Junction (also known as Broxden Roundabout or Broxden Interchange) is one of the busier and more important road junctions in Scotland. It is located on the outskirts of Perth, and is one of the city's two major roundabouts – the other being Inveralmond Roundabout, where the A9 meets the A912 Dunkeld Road, 2.3 miles (3.7 km) to the north-northwest. The roundabout, oval in shape, is an important hub of the Scottish road network, a major junction on the A9 north–south route, and the UK's northernmost motorway junction, being junction 12 of the M90 motorway. Prior to Dunfermline's ascension to city status, all of the seven cities in Scotland were signposted from its exits. Broxden is an interchange for several local bus and long-distance coach services, the latter provided by Scottish Citylink, Megabus, FlixBus, and Ember. There is a park and ride area with a local bus service to Perth city centre. The roundabout was originally designed with the future intention of connecting the northbound A9 and the M90, with the roundabout being replaced by a grade separated junction, and in 2008 Transport Scotland published proposals for the dualling of the A9 between Dunblane and Inverness including the replacement of Broxden Junction with a flyover.

Tulloch, Perth and Kinross

Tulloch, formerly known as Bleachfield, is a residential area of Perth, Scotland, approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-west of the centre of Perth. Tulloch is the western part of the area that borders Hillyland.The main access road to Tulloch, from the east or west, is Tulloch Road, reached via the Crieff Road (A85), which bounds it to the south. It is also accessible, albeit less directly, from the Dunkeld Road (A912), which bounds it to the north-east, via a modern housing development. It is bounded to the north-west by the A9. Tulloch has a small shopping precinct, Tulloch Square, located just off Tulloch Terrace. Tulloch Primary School, founded in 1969, is located on Gillespie Place. It can accommodate 400 pupils.Primrose Crescent, a main thoroughfare which, upon merging from Tulloch Road and Hillyland, circumnavigates Tulloch's oldest residential area before joining up with Tulloch Road again just before its western junction with Crieff Road. The skyline is dominated by several high-rise flats (one of which is in view in the background of the infobox image). In addition to the new housing development in the north-east of Tulloch/Hillyland, homes have also been built to the north and west. These are in addition to the first development (Sandeman Court) that went up in the 1980s in the valley behind the primary school, near the railway siding at the bottom of the hill. Between the housing and the railway siding is Perth Lade, which is sourced from Low's Work, a weir on the River Almond south of Almondbank, and empties 4.5 miles (7.2 km) away into the River Tay, near Smeaton's Bridge, via the city. A walking path runs parallel to the lade. Ladeside Court, a cul-de-sac off Fairfield Avenue, takes its name from the body of water. J. Pullar and Sons Ltd.'s Tulloch Works, a dry cleaning plant, once stood on the site of the present-day Bracken Brae. At the turn of the 20th century, architectural firm comprising John Honeyman, John Keppie and Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed a row of buildings for workers at the dyeworks. They were single-storey, semi-detached roughcast cottages. There were also two two-storey blocks containing a total of ten flats. The eight cottages remain, today's 61–75 Tulloch Terrace; the two flats have been demolished. Pullars also built Tulloch School, for their workers' children, in 1895. The school closed in 1911, and the building was later used by the Tulloch Institute.From certain parts of Tulloch, views are afforded of the hills beyond Scone to the east, including an obelisk on the 279-foot (85 m) summit of a hill near Muirend. To the north, the Grampian Mountains can be seen.
