Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Information requested
You asked for 'I'd like to make the following request under FOI legislation.
Please provide a list of the number of collisions on the A75, broken down into a table that lists the location of the collision for every financial year since 2016-16.
Please provide a list of the number of collisions on the A77, broken down into a table that lists the location of the collision for every financial year since 2016-16.'
Response
The records we hold relate to collisions where someone is injured or killed, and which become known to Police Scotland. Therefore, we do not hold records relating to damage-only collisions.
Please note that any figures for 2024 and 2025 are provisional as they are based on monthly returns received thus far from Police Scotland, with the most recent returns being received on 10th March 2025. This may be an incomplete picture of casualties up to that date due to a slight lag between collisions occurring and records being processed and shared by Police Scotland. These figures are also subject to change due to subsequent corrections and late records.
The following tables provides a summary of the injury collisions on the A75 and A77 and the attached files contains the grid co-ordinates for the location of each of these collisions.
