A man has been charged after a huge army truck smashed into the side of a Perthshire hotel.
The military vehicle was travelling through Dunkeld on Tuesday morning when it struck railings outside the historic Atholl Arms.
Staff called police after the eight-wheel truck drove off without stopping to report the incident.
Police Scotland confirmed that the driver had been charged.
The collision was caught on camera by hotel manager Zsolt Balogh, who said he now faces a repair bill of up to £20,000.
It happened just before 9am when the area was busy with commuters and youngsters walking to school. The truck hit iron railings next to an outdoor seating area, which was empty at the time.
On-lookers said the vehicle paused for a few seconds after hitting the iron fence, before reversing and moving on.
Hotel staff made an appeal for witnesses on Facebook.
A spokeswoman said: “Zsolt was outside picking up some things from his car when it happened.
“We don’t know what went wrong. It was either coming over the bridge too fast, or was taking the corner too wide.”
Mr Balogh said guests who witnessed the smash from an upstairs window were left stunned: “Shocked there were so many children walking right by when it happened. Shocked that the impact was so close to our outside seating area, where thankfully no one was at the time.”
Local SNP MSP John Swinney has written to Police Scotland, asking them to “fully investigate this incident as expeditiously as possible.”
A police spokeswoman said: “Around 9.10am, police received a report that a vehicle struck a wall and gate on Tay Terrace in Dunkeld.
“The male driver has been charged in connection with road traffic offences and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
The Ministry of Defence have been asked for comment.
