A82 named danger road

THE A82 which runs along Loch Lomondside is the road most at risk of landslides, a report has revealed.

Transport Scotland says the major tourist road is one of those in danger of disappearing under mud and rocks in bad weather.

The A82, A83 and A9 were deemed those with the biggest hazards in the report, which has prompted calls for action to prevent further deterioration.

Sixteen stretches of the A82 were identified as at high risk from landslides, including a 13.5km stretch along north Loch Lomond.
