A REMOTE Highland route affected by a fallen tree will be monitored over the weekend amid concerns about inclement weather.

The Salen and Kilchoan road on the Ardnamurchan peninsula remains open after yesterday's incident.

The single track B8007 links the two villages.

The upturned root of a fallen tree caused damage to a retaining wall.

Highland Council says it will monitor it over the weekend "along with the forecasted inclement weather".

Strong wind and heavy rain showers are forecast over the weekend.

Operatives are hoping to complete repair work on the wall on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
