Newtonmore – some views


 Looking towards Creag Dubh

After several weeks of snow and ice in Newtonmore we have been blessed with several gloriously sunny days this week. A quartet of photos taken in the sunshine.

On December 5th 2014 the alcohol limit for drivers in Scotland reduced from 80 milligrams of alcohol in every 100 millilitres of blood to 50 milligrams of alcohol in every 100 millilitres of blood.


The breath alcohol equivalent reduced from 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath to 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath (5).


The Scottish Government say they have changed their drink drive limit to bring Scotland in line with most other European countries, to save lives and make Scotland’s roads safer.

This limit is now lower than in England and Wales, which remains 80 milligrams of alcohol in every 100 millilitres of blood.
