A motorcyclist who died in a crash has been named as an electrician.

Andy Murray died in the incident on the A93 between Glenshee and Braemar in Aberdeenshire at 1.45pm on Friday.

The 53-year-old, from Methil in Fife, was pronounced dead despite the efforts of a passing doctor.

In a statement, his family said: "Andy was an electrician with Fife Council and was a keen motorcyclist who was active in charity work with the local biker community, known to his biker friends as the 'Silver Fox'.

"He was well liked and will be sorely missed by everyone especially his mother, sister and brother.

"We would like to thank his friends, the passing doctor who stopped to give assistance, the police officers and emergency services who attended at the scene."
