Low and slow over Aviemore

Wednesday 30th about 11:45 and coming south on the A95 near Boat of Garten I saw an aircraft which looked to be following the A9. It looked similar to an Auster but with the leading edges cut back at the roots (for better forward and upward visibility?). The wind was a bit blustery and he was being bounced all over the place. He was also going very low and slow, as in I was travelling at 50/55mph and overtaking him as he headed to and over Aviemore. Anyone else see it or know the type or what this silvery grey aircraft was doing? Just curious.
Sorry to be vague as to the description but (a) I was driving and (b) I am not familiar with Aircraft that are slower than my car!
