A signalling issue in the Montrose area has impacted on train services.

The road reopened in the early hours after an incident between Shiel Bridge and Bun Loyne.

The A87 is closed in both directions, between Shiel Bridge and Bun Loyne after a reported traffic collision.

Police have confirmed that a 32-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman were arrested in connection with the incident. Enquiries are "ongoing".

The bridge has become notorious for breakdowns since it first opened, and even experienced delays during construction due to "snagging issues".

Thunder and lightning could cause disruption in parts of the Highlands, amid forecasts that up to 40mm of rain could fall in just a few hours.

The ferry had been out of action since last week due to an engine fault.

The airport has advised folk driving to the airport for the popular Maggie's Highland fun run to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journey.

Travel disruption is expected this weekend after a full weekend closure of a section of the A96 west of Nairn has been confirmed.

But Scott Murray says 'the Inverness business community remains ready to work proactively and collegially' with the council.

The cyclist, a 34-year-old woman, was taken to hospital for treatment and the A9's slip lane leading to the roundabout was closed for a time.

A slip lane on the A9 which was closed following an accident has now reopened.

Traffic Scotland confirmed that the closure affected the southbound slip lane onto the roundabout.

Traffic Scotland has reported lanes are now running in both directions an the A95 at the A9 Aviemore junction.

But the Levelling Up secretary is worried that not dualling the A9 may limit the 'full economic and social benefits.'

Traffic is slow moving in both directions it has been reported after a collision on the A95 near Aviemore.

Plans to build a new accessible footbridge at Nairn train station were approved earlier today with conditions to retain the historic footbridge.

Two flights between Inverness Airport and London are set to be delayed this morning.

Highland Council has objected to a proposed plan for a full weekend closure of a section of the A96 west of Nairn at this weekend.

Earlier this summer new parking meters were installed at locations across the region.
