A cyclist who died nine days after he was involved in a collision with a coach has been named by police.
Robert Don, 53, suffered a serious head injury in the crash on December 30 and was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.
He remained in the intensive care unit until his death yesterday afternoon.
The collision on the A9 involved a blue and yellow single-decker coach on a scheduled journey between Inverness and Edinburgh.
It stopped immediately and the driver and 19 passengers were not injured.
Police Scotland have appealed for witnesses to the incident which happened on the southbound carriageway of the A9 between Luncarty and Inveralmond near Perth.
A spokesman said: "Officers are still trying to trace witnesses to the incident, a number of whom may have stopped to assist in the immediate aftermath."
A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
Mr Don was from the Letham area of Perth. His family have said that he will be greatly missed.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
