Landslide closes road for fourth time in five years

The Rest and Be Thankful road has been closed due to a landslide once again after heavy rain shifted up to 50 tonnes of rock and earth on a hillside overlooking the Argyll route.

It is the fourth time the stretch of the A83 has been closed by a landslide in the past five years and follows a recent Scottish Government announcement that a further £1 million will be spent on stabilising land around the road.
