George Heriot’s principal Cameron Wylie paid tribute to the mother-of-one, saying she was an inspired teacher. He said: “Kelda was an immensely talented, compassion­ate and vibrant person who loved teaching drama, and who has inspired a love of her subject in many young people over the years. Those of us at school are very shocked. I know you will all include her son Josh, and her parents, in your thoughts.”
