Police have appealed for witnesses to an incident on the A72 north of Skirling in the early hours of Monday morning.

We are appealing for witnesses following a fatal crash on the A72.

Police were called to the road, a quarter of a mile north of the village of Skirling around 12.50am on Monday, 17 August, 2026 following a report of a crash involving a HGV and a pedestrian.

A 59-year-old man, the pedestrian, was pronounced dead at the scene. His family is aware.

There are no other reported injuries.

The road was closed and reopened around 7.30pm.

Enquiries are ongoing.

Sergeant Jamie Humpage said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the man who died at this difficult time.

“As our enquiries into the crash continue, I would urge anyone who has any information that may assist our investigation or relevant dash cam footage of the area around the time to contact police.”

Anyone with information can contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 0118 of 17 August, 2026. Alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
