The 50-year-old was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary before being transferred to the Western General Hospital.

"She will be sorely missed. We would ask for privacy to grieve at this difficult time."

Police say their investigation into the crash is continuing and urged anyone with information to come forward.

"Our enquiries continue and I would ask anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or who was travelling on the A72 just south of Walkerburn shortly before the collision, to please get in touch."
