Campaigners say their case for speed cameras in a Highland tourist village has been strengthened by the results of a traffic survey.
The study in November showed 68% of drivers were breaking the 30mph limit between Borlum Bridge and the Lewiston Crossroads in Drumnadrochit on Loch Ness side.
It was also found that 33% were travelling faster than 30mph along the straight at the Esso filling station.
Despite local concerns, Drumnadrochit was not included on a list of 24 locations across Scotland which are to get speed cameras as part of a £675,000 project announced in September.
