Rail and road travel in parts of the Highlands are being disrupted following a landslide.
The landslip has blocked the railway line between Fort William and Mallaig and the nearby A830 since about 18:00 on Thursday.
ScotRail said there was disruption to services between Glasgow Queen Street and Mallaig terminating at or starting from Fort William.
The A830 is shut between the Lochailort and Drumsallie junction.
The landslide happened during a period of heavy downpours that affected Skye, Mull, the west Highlands and Argyll. The Met Office issued a yellow ^be aware^ warning of heavy rain earlier this week.
