Police have issued a road safety appeal after a number of fatal crashes across the country this weekend, including one in Ayrshire.

Eight people were killed on Scotland's roads in less than 48 hours, including a 37-year-old man who died in a single-vehicle crash involving a green Land Rover Defender beween Girvan and Dailly at around 7.30pm on Saturday, July 27.

Three bikers died on Sunday in a crash involving two motorbikes, a Suzuki GSXR and a Kawasaki ZX1400, on the A6088 in the Scottish Borders.

A 29-year-old woman also died in a separate crash on the same afternoon in Lochgilphead in Argyll and Bute.

A crash near Falkirk on Saturday claimed the lives of three men in their 20s.

Chief Superintendent Hilary Sloan, Police Scotland's head of road policing, has urged drivers to think about their behaviour on the roads.

She said: "A collision affects more than just you and your car. It impacts your family, the victim’s family, emergency services and people who witness it.

"I urge every driver and road user to think about their behaviour on the road, be considerate towards others and help us make Scotland’s roads safe for everyone.

"We all have a responsibility to use our roads safely and to help save lives."
