Scots journalist and author Magnus Linklater was yesterday banned from the roads for six months for speeding on the notorious A9.
The former editor of The Scotsman appeared in court with nine points already on his driving licence.
He was clocked at 75mph in a 60mph zone at an area known as the Nuide Straight on the A9 by Kingussie.

Linklater, of Drummond Place, Edinburgh, had previously pled guilty by letter to the offence at Inverness Justice of the Peace Court.
Linklater, a columnist with The Times, appeared personally and said he was sorry.
He was fined £60 and had three penalty points imposed on his licence, resulting in a six-month ban under the totting up procedure as he had nine points already from the previous offences.
