The three people killed in a horrific crash on the A9 on Friday have been named by police.
They have been named as 73-year-old James Forbes and his 66-year-old wife Anne Forbes from Fleming Street in Chacefields, Denny.
The couple had been travelling in their Vauxhall Astra when the crash happened.
Also killed in the crash was 63-ear-old John Potter of Hutton Buscel in Scarborough. He was driving a blue Volvo S80.
All three were pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash happened on a single-carriageway stretch of the A9, a mile north of the Killiecrankie turn-off, at around 11.55am on October 22.
The 47-year-old female driver of a Renault Clio was airlifted to Ninewells Hospital where she received surgery to her right arm for tendon and artery damage.
She was later released from hospital and is expected to undergo further surgery at a later date.
The tragedy has led to fresh calls for the “deadly” road to be dualled.
Mid Scotland and Fife MSP Murdo Fraser said the crash was a “cold reminder” of the dangers drivers face daily on the arterial Perth to Inverness route.
Investigations are going on to determine whether bad weather contributed to the head-on collision described by the emergency services as “carnage.”
Mr Fraser expressed condolences to the families and friends of the three who were killed, saying, “This is a real tragedy and it is horrific to think another three lives have been lost on the A9.
“This sad event underlines that we must see real investment to dual the A9 and reduce its accident and fatality rate.
“The stark statistics that make it Scotland’s deadliest road are a result of real human tragedies such as this fatal accident.”
The A9 is widely known as Scotland’s most dangerous road, with 67 people killed between 2004 and 2008.
In the same period a massive 1041 accidents were recorded on the route, which features sections of both dual and single carriageway.
Last year more than 8000 people signed an online petition to push for a £4 million upgrade programme, one of the SNP Government’s key manifesto pledges in 2007.
Nationalist MSPs have repeatedly talked of their commitment to dual the road, but as yet no firm timetable for the work has been unveiled.
Mr Fraser added, “Users of the A9 need and want to know when it will all be dualled. We need to see this road upgraded to help ease congestion, to bring an economic boost to the area and, crucially, to reduce the accident rate on the road.”
Perth MP Pete Wishart also expressed his sadness after hearing the news of the deaths, saying, “My heart goes out to the families of those who have died in this awful accident they have my deepest sympathy.
“I understand that investigations are ongoing into the cause of the collisions but this sad incident underlines how important it is that we continue to do all that we can to improve safety on this very busy road.
“The Scottish Government has made huge improvements to the A9 over the last few years with new stretches of dual carriageway and safer junctions being developed. Nevertheless, it is clear that we have to keep up the pressure and ensure that as much as possible is done to avoid future fatalities.”
