A motorcyclist has died following a crash near an RAF memorial in Aberdeenshire.

Michael Reid, 29, came off his bike on the A98 road between Banff and Portsoy on Sunday.

An investigation into the cause of the crash near the RAF Banff Strike Wing memorial is under way.

Police Scotland's sergeant David Pirie said: "First and foremost our thoughts are with Mr Reid's family and friends at this very sad time.
