Scotland's most dangerous road is on the outskirts of Glasgow, a survey of fatal crashes and accidents has shown.
The A726, connecting to J3 of the M77, near the city's southside and Paisley, has the worst accident record in the country. The stretch of road is only four miles long but had 37 serious or fatal collisions between 2000 and 2005.
Researchers found that the second most dangerous road in Scotland was the A85 between Perth and Crianlarich which saw 114 deaths or serious injuries over its 54 miles, between 2000 and 2005.
