Highland community leaders are calling for a cut on the speed limit at two world-famous tourist attractions before a tragedy occurs.
Tens of thousands of tourists descend on Glenfinnan each year to see the iconic viaduct which featured in the Harry Potter films, as well as the monument which honours fallen Jacobite clansmen.
Because the Glenfinnan monument does not have its own car park, visitors must walk along and cross the A830 – which has a 60mph limit – to gain access.
Local children must also wait at the side of the road for their school bus pick-up.
Constituency MSP Kate Forbes has joined forces with Glenfinnan Community Council to call for a reduction in the speed limit on safety grounds.
The Lochaber MSP said: “Glenfinnan is a very busy place at the height of the tourist season. Most park their car and then cross the busy A830 to get to the monument.
“It concerns me that cars can drive round the corner just before Glenfinnan at high speeds, only to slam on the breaks when they see people at the side of the road waiting to cross.
“The vast majority of drivers and tourists are sensible, but I do welcome Transport Scotland’s commitment to review the signage and the speed limit at the spot.”
Duncan Gibson, chair of Glenfinnan Community Council, added: “There is a crossing from the National Trust for Scotland centre to the famous Glenfinnan monument.
“The road here is still a 60mph road and it is dangerous for visitors to cross.
“It is also dangerous for local children to cross this 60mph stretch to get to the school bus in the morning.
“The Glenfinnan Community Council has fought many years to get the speed limit dropped to 30mph but without any success.”
Transport Scotland said they were reviewing the signage and speed limit at the spot.
