A Spanish tourist has appeared in court charged with causing the death of a motorcyclist on the A82 at Glencoe.
Enrique Maffiote, 52, from Tenerife, had been released on police bail to attend Inverness Sheriff Court on Tuesday.
He made no plea to a charge of causing the death of 35-year-old Ross Dominick from Johnstone by careless driving around noon on Sunday July 23.
Emergency services raced to the scene of a crash at the Buachaille Etive Beag car park junction where a Mazda CX5 and a BMW motorbike had collided.
But Mr Dominick’s life could not be saved and he was pronounced dead on the A82 Fort William to Glasgow road.
