A man named Peter Pelling, 61, from Arbroath, who was found dead in his car after it was swept away by floodwaters in Aberdeenshire during Storm Babet, has been identified by the police.
His family described him as a "very kind, loyal, and hardworking man" and expressed their gratitude to the first responders and emergency services involved in the challenging rescue operation.
Mr. Pelling was one of the storm's casualties in Scotland, which also claimed two other lives in the region. Authorities have ruled out any suspicious circumstances in his death, and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
