The landslip in Knoydart happened last month
A new stretch of road may have to be constructed on a lifeline route in the Highlands to bypass a section damaged by a landslide.
A 15m (49ft) section of the single track road between Scottas and Airor on the remote Knoydart peninsula .
Highland Council is considering an option to construct a new 300m (984.3ft) road.
This would connect the top and bottom of the existing road.
The road is a lifeline route for the communities of Airor, Doune and Sandaig.
While it is closed, people in the local communities affected have set up their own "shuttle" service. This involves having a vehicle on either side of the collapsed section.
