Four people have died following two motorbike crashes in Scotland on Sunday.

Emergency services were called to a crash on the A6088 in the Scottish Borders involving two motorbikes, a Suzuki GSXR and a Kawasaki ZX1400, at 14:30.

Three riders, a 37-year-old man, a 29-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman, died at the scene.

A 29-year-old woman died in a separate crash a short time later in Argyll and Bute.

Following the crash in the Borders, police said the road was closed but reopened at about 21:30.

Sgt Barry Sommerville said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the three people who died.”

At around 14:45, police were called to another motorbike crash in Lochgilphead.

The woman rider was fatally injured while riding a white Ducati motorbike at the Kilmory roundabout on the A83.

She was with three other bikers at the time and was pronounced dead at the scene. The road was closed for around seven hours.

Sgt Archie McGuire said his thoughts were with the family and friends of the woman who died.

Anyone with information on either crash is urged to contact police.

The latest deaths came less than 48 hours after a car crash near Falkirk on Friday evening claimed three lives.
