Bus driver fired after boy, four, walked home

A driver has been dismissed after a four-yearold boy tried to walk home on the Black Isle after being left on his school bus.

John Robertson was travelling home to North Kessock from Munlochy Primary School last Friday.

He ended up in the bus in D&E Coaches’ Inverness Longman depot, about three miles from where he lives. The boy was spotted close to Inverness Caledonian Thistle’s stadium.

D&E Coaches said it was “extremely disappointed” by the circumstances. The firm has dismissed the driver for gross misconduct.
