Road Policing Scotland took to social media after catching the vehicle thundering along the road, and posted a picture of the speed gun reading ‘114mph’.
The post also said: “#A9 driver stopped today (Saturday 20 March) travelling at excessive speed near Dalnaspidal, Pitlochry. They will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal.
“Speeds such as this are not acceptable and officers will continue with speed checks to target drivers who break the law.”
The stretch of road in Highland Perthshire is around the area where the track breaks into a dual carriageway.
Highland Perthshire councillor John Duff said: “Speeds so far in excess of the legal limit are grossly dangerous and risk not just the lives of the driver and any passengers but those of the police officers involved in stopping them and other road users.
“I am aware that serious road collisions have occurred on this stretch of the A9 before and, thanks to the actions of the police officers, another one may have been avoided.”
