Memorial to Perthshire A9 fatalities proposed in Holyrood by roads campaigner

A national memorial to those who have died on one of Scotland’s most notorious roads would “etch every name” into the minds of politicians, campaigners have said.

Laura Hansler, a road safety campaigner, has accused SNP ministers of showing “a complete and utter disregard and disrespect” to those killed on the A9 in Perthshire and towards Inverness after repeated failures to introduce dual carriageways.

Some 335 people have died in 252 collisions on the Perth-to-Inverness section of the route since 1979 - with last year at a 20-year high of 13 deaths.
