A 67-year-old motorcyclist who died in a crash near a Highlands village has been named by police.
Gilbert Duncan was taken by emergency responders to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary following an incident on May 17 on the A862, near Beauly, where he died a short time later.
The crash, which happened at around 11am at a location around 20 minutes’ drive from Inverness, involved Mr Duncan’s Yamaha MT07, another Yamaha MT07, and a black Mazda CX5 car.
The male driver of the car and the other motorcyclist were uninjured.
The 47-year-old driver of the car was arrested in connection with road traffic offences, but was later released pending further inquiries.
Mr Duncan’s family, from the Avoch area, have asked for their privacy to be respected.
Sergeant Calum MacAulay said: “Our thoughts are with Gilbert’s family and friends at this difficult time, and we have officers supporting them.
“Inquiries are ongoing and we are continuing to appeal to anyone who witnessed the crash, who has not already spoken to police, to contact us.
“We also ask anyone driving in the area at the time with dash-cam footage to come forward.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting incident 1290 of May 17.
