Die Huang was driving on the wrong side of the road when she collided with Andrew MacPherson.

A Chinese tourist who killed a motorcyclist heading for the Highlands to fulfil a "bucket list" wish was jailed for 14 months on Monday, November 25.

The section of the A9 she was driving on was a single carriageway section but she was previously travelling on a part of the road that was dual carrriageway. A judge told Huang at the High Court in Edinburgh: "It would appear that you simply had not appreciated that the two carriageways had merged into a single carriageway with tragic consequences."

The judge said: "No sentence of this court can alleviate the anguish suffered by her and by Mr MacPherson's entire family." The judge said he took into account her genuine and deep remorse, her lack of experience of driving in the UK, her otherwise good driving record and lack of previous convictions.

The court heard that Oxfordshire-born Mr MacPherson, 63, was a train driver and after he was medically retired devoted time to his hobbies.
