A tragic young Scot who was killed in a horror Edinburgh car smash on Sunday has been named as Henry Farron.

The 20-year-old sadly died following a fatal road crash on Dundee Street on December 1 which involved a grey Volvo XC60. Emergency serviced raced to the incident, but Henry was pronounced dead at the scene.

Henry's family paid tribute to their "beloved" son and brother who will be greatly missed. Police have also launched a probe into the crash.

His family said: “We are heartbroken by the death of our beloved son and brother Henry. He will be so very much missed by all who knew and loved him.”

The driver of the Volvo car, a 51-year-old man, was arrested and has been released pending further enquiries, which remain ongoing.
