The country topped a UK league table for pothole damage, compiled by the AA, which found the results were considerably worse than in any other part of the country.
The motoring organisation branded the state of the roads a national embarrassment as it revealed the number of pothole-related insurance claims in the UK more than doubled last month, compared with January last year. The figures emerged in a survey of more than 22,000 AA members around the UK, of whom 1957 were in Scotland.
