Tribute has been paid to a cyclist who died a week after being involved in a collision with a bus.
Robert Don suffered serious head injuries following the incident, which took place on December 30 on the A9 near Perth.
The 53-year-old had been in a critical condition at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, where his partner Mary Docherty kept a bedside vigil.
He lost his fight for life on Wednesday afternoon. His sister Jane Don paid tribute to her brother, who lived in the Letham area of Perth.
She told The Courier the accident had come as a “great shock” and described Mr Don as a “very careful cyclist”.
“The last week has been really hard,” she said.
“I just couldn’t believe it when I found out, as he was so careful when he was out on his bike and I’m still in shock.
“We had hoped he would recover, but his injuries were just too much.”
She said her brother worked with the Forestry Commission and loved the outdoors life, spending his spare time on his bike, fishing or walking.
“He was a hard worker and travelled all over the country,” she added.
“Robert didn’t like sitting around, he was always finding something to do. He will be sorely missed by all his friends and family.”
Officers from Police Scotland are still trying to trace witnesses to the incident which happened on the southbound carriageway of the A9 between Luncarty and Inveralmond.
Mr Don was riding his bicycle when he was involved in a collision with a blue and yellow single-deck coach, which was on a scheduled journey between Inverness and Edinburgh, shortly before 5pm on December 30.
The bus stopped immediately and the driver and 19 passengers were uninjured.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, or talk to any officer.
