River danger warning

-

News of Freya’s death came the same day the PA reported that police warned people to be careful in open water.

Inspector Graham Binnie said: “Any area of water including reservoirs, canals and rivers can hold hidden dangers.

“With many stretches of water in the county being located in remote areas, help will often be some considerab­le time away so take responsibi­lity for your own actions and make sensible decisions to stay safe around waterways.”

The tragedy also comes just a year on from the death of a 12-year-old boy from Glasgow in the Tay. The youngster got into difficulty in an area of water known as Hell Hole Corner near Stanley.
