Tourists warned over handbrakes after campervan plummets 100ft from Glencoe car park
23.05.2022 - 16:37 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Tourists visiting the Highlands have been warned to double-check their handbrake when they park up after a campervan plummeted 100ft from a Glencoe car park.
The National Trust for Scotland (NTS) shared an incredible image showing the upturned vehicle lying on its side after it rolled off the edge of the nearby Three Sisters viewpoint parking area.
The charity has cared for the Glencoe National Nature Reserve since 1935 and regularly shares advice and warnings to those visiting the area on its social media.
Posting the image on the NTS Glencoe page, the charity wrote: "Something you don't encounter every day...
"Always double-check your handbrake (though this may have been a faulty one)."
Thankfully, they confirmed that no one had been injured in the incident, though added that the vehicle had caused considerable damage to the landscape.
Followers of the page posted their shock at the sight of the dramatic image.
One wrote: "So devastated for everyone involved. No one does that deliberately and just so glad no one got hurt. A sad lesson for us all."
While another added: "Glad no-one got hurt. I always park in gear just incase my handbrake ever fails."
However, some others weren't so understanding, one posted: "Muppets - I'm allowed to say this because it happened to us also: dropping a car off the banks of the Colorado River in Arizona. We were muppets too.
"Good no one was injured!"
While another quipped: "Quite careful and considerate parking by campervan standards."
