A man has died in a head-on smash with an Audi in the Scottish Borders.

The crash happened on the A701 Broughton to Moffat Road about half a mile south of the road from Cappercleuch at Tweedsmuir.

The man was driving a Nissan Almera Tino heading southwards when he collided with an Audi Q7, which was travelling north.
