Efforts are under way to clear the A83 at the Rest and Be Thankful in Argyll after a landslide brought a torrent of mud down the hillside onto the road.

"I suppose it comes down to funding doesn't it, it's a money issue. It's a huge undertaking financially and population-wise I suppose we're not considered to be the most populated area. Is it a question of lack of funding due to that?
If this had happened outside Glasgow you can guarantee this would be resolved within a year or so - they'd build a structure like you see on the continent that would ensure this would never happen again."
