The Scottish Fire and Rescue service are urging people to stay safe around frozen water, which should always be avoided
As temperatures are set to remain below freezing, safety experts are warning people over the "dangers" of walking on ice.
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Area Commander for Prevention and Protection, David Dourley, said: “Following the tragic events of the weekend, our thoughts are very much with the families, friends and local communities at this sad time. Even walking near the ice can result in an accident due to high risks of slipping. Mr Dourley advised: “Don’t wander too near to the edge, icy conditions could cause you to slip and fall in and don’t be tempted to test how solid the water is.
