A735 Road accident statistics: FOI release

Information requested

Under the Freedom of Information act, I would like to request statistics on road accidents on the A735. My particular interest is the A735 through the village of Kilmaurs and its immediate environs.

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 are provisional as they are based on monthly returns received thus far from Police Scotland, with the most recent returns being received on 10th May 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 provide a summary of the injury collisions and casualties recorded as taking place on the A735 as it passes through Kilmaurs.

For reference, I have defined the terms of this request as relating to collisions taking place on the A735 between the northings of 640714 and 641771.
