Linda Shields, Operations Director for First Bus Scotland, said: 'The roadworks at Thornliebank Road have caused significant disruption to our services 57 and 57A over the last 12 months and have led to much longer journey times for our customers.
'We're delighted these roadworks have now been completed and our services will be returning to their normal route from tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.
"Not only will it make our journeys on these services quicker, it will also mean they are more reliable for customers too.'

Tyson Fury spotted posing topless in Scots town as boxing legend chats with stunned locals
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TYSON FURY has fought in the world's biggest cities and the grandest stages. So a small Scottish town might not be where you'd expect to find him! Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Tyson Fury retired at the beginning of the year Credit: Getty 5 Fury has been spotted taking a stroll through a small Scottish town Credit: Instagram @tysonfury 5 He's also stayed at a caravan park in the north of Scotland Credit: FACEBOOK Fury, 36, is one of the greatest fighters of all time and held several world heavyweight championships during his storied career. The Gypsy King beat superstars such as Wladimir Klitschko and Deontay Wilder as he negotiated 35 professional fights without a single defeat. That maiden loss came at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk via split decision in May last year. The duo did battle again in a hotly anticipated rematch in December with Usyk once again the winner, this time via unanimous decision. In January this year, Fury announced his retirement from professional boxing - although not for the first time. While he might not be preparing to get back in the ring any time soon, Fury remains a very busy man. Fury stars in his own Netflix series, At Home with the Furys, which was a huge hit during its initial run in 2023. It features the boxing superstar and his family, including wife Paris and brother Tommy. It's coming back for a second series and it appears that's what has brought Fury to Scotland. He made it to the VERY north of the country, staying in a caravan park in John O'Groats. Alex Scott and Dermot O'Leary forced to apologise as Tyson Fury swears live on ITV during Soccer Aid coverage Sharing a couple of snaps of the boxing legend, John O'Groats Caravan and Camping Site said: " We were delighted to host the one and only 'Gypsy King' Mr Tyson Fury and his family at the John O Groats Caravan and Camping Site!! "It was a pleasure to have them all stay with us!" He's also been spotted in Grantown-on-Spey, putting an extremely striking appearance! In a video posted on Instagram, Fury could be seen walking through the small town of just 2,500 people TOPLESS - and wearing a kilt. He also had a tartan tie around his neck, despite the fact he wasn't wearing a shirt. Stunned locals could be seen approaching the Gypsy King, rather unsurprisingly shocked to see the superstar taking a stroll through the town. Excited punters could be seen running up to Fury with their phones desperate for a selfie, with the former champ only too happy to oblige as he stopped to pose for a snap. Fury tagged Netflix in the post and was with a camera crew, so it certainly appears he's been in the north of Scotland filming content for the upcoming second series of his show. He made an appearance at Soccer Aid over the weekend too. 5 Fury greeted locals in Grantown-on-Spey Credit: Instagram @tysonfury 5 The boxing great made an appearance at Soccer Aid on Sunday night Credit: PA Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

The Scottish island that was crowned 'prettiest' you need to visit this summer
The island has been praised for its beaches and food scene. When it comes to choosing a Scottish island to head to for a staycation, having so many options can be overwhelming. The country is home to around 800 islands in total, and many are inhabited and easily accessible. If you are stuck on an island in Scotland to head to this summer, a great choice is Westray. One of the Orkney Islands, that has a population of around just 600 people. What Westray lacks in size, it makes up for in spectacular landscapes. It features dramatic sea cliffs on its west side, as well as a selection of fabulous sandy beaches. Westray was previously named one of Scotland's five "prettiest" islands by Condé Nast Traveller. Placing first on the experts' roundup, the island was praised for its "bijou sand-smeared bays, vertiginous sea cliffs and flat, serene pastureland". One of the top beaches on Westray is Grobust, located a short distance from the village of Pierowall. According to the Orkney website, the beach looks especially beautiful in the aftermath of a northerly gale—when blue waves are thrown into the "impeccably clean sandy shore". Grobust is also located close to the ruins of a Neolithic settlement at the Links of Noltland. An ancient tiny stone figure nicknamed the 'Orkney Venus' or 'Westray Wife' was discovered here in 2009, and can be seen at the Westray Heritage Centre. Situated in Pierowall, the Westray Heritage Centre is a four-star museum that is home to a fascinating and extensive collection of artefacts, documents, and photographs. These help visitors discover more about the island's long and storied history. Also located near Pierowall are the dramatic ruins of Noltland Castle. Dating back to the 16th century, the stronghold was constructed by a Master of Mary, Queen of Scots' household who escaped to Westray following her arrest in 1567. Pierowall is also home to a popular fish and chip shop, with the small family-run Pierowall Fish business running the popular 'JACKS' chippy. Open Wednesdays and Saturdays, the fish and chip shop serves a large selection of fish—plus a range of local chip shop classics—according to season and availability. Westray's food scene was named another of the island's highlights by Condé Nast Traveller. They experts praised it has having "one of the greatest natural larders in Scotland with Westray beef, scallops and shellfish some of the finest you'll find anywhere". As well as Pierowall Fish, one of the most popular eateries on Westray is Saintear. The small family-run café and bistro offers pizzas, sweet treats, coffee, and more. In terms of walking destinations, among the best hikes on Westray is the Noup Head Circular. Taking around two and a half hours to complete, the route offers incredible views of the spectacular and historic Noup Head Lighthouse. Westray is also a top destination for spotting seabirds, with the Noup Cliffs being a particular hotspot. If they're lucky, visitors will be able to see birds nesting and soaring in the area. If you are interested in visiting Westray, the island can be reached by either sea or air. There are regular ferries to Westray from Kirkwall, while Loganair operates flights to and from the island.
