LOCHABER MSP Kate Forbes made a fact-finding visit on Friday to the Mallaig branch of the Royal Bank of Scotland, which has been earmarked for closure.
During the visit, the MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch met with the regional manager Paul Dykes as well as local staff and expressed opposition on behalf of her constituents.
Last month, Ms Forbes led a Scottish Parliament debate on the closure of banks in rural areas.
