Swans bring A9 traffic to a standstill
Two swans and four cygnets were spotted calmly waddling along the outside lane on the southbound approach to the Kessock Bridge.
Police received a call initially at 6am saying the family of geese were close to the North Kessock layby, then two hours later they were reported to be on the road.
