    Rally driver dies in competition

    </span>A driver has been killed in the Colin McRae Forest Stages car rally in Aberfeldy, Perthshire.

    The event was cancelled following the death of Jimmy Girvan, 56, on Saturday at about 1500 BST.

    The former Scottish Rally Champion's Subaru Impreza collided with boulders and then crashed into trees at the Griffin section of the course.

    Girvan's navigator, Mike Ramsay, was cut free from the vehicle, but he was not seriously hurt.

    The rally is held in memory of world championship winning rally driver McRae who died in a helicopter crash three years ago.
