Tributes paid to beloved biker killed in crash

A grieving family has paid tribute to a biker who died in a crash with a car in Edinburgh.

Ian Harrower, from Rosyth, Fife, died at the scene after his Kawasaki bike was involved in an incident with a Peugeot 306 on Queensferry Road at about 23:15 on Tuesday.

The 61-year-old was described as a "loving husband, grandad and stepdad" by his family in a statement.

The driver of the Peugeot, a 31-year-old man, has now been charged in connection with road traffic offences over the crash.

In a statement released through Police Scotland, Mr Harrower's family said: "Ian was a much loved son to Elizabeth, brother to Elaine and dad to Lewis, Kim and Owen.

"He was a loving husband to Norah and stepdad to Gavin and will be very much missed grandad to Brooke and Taylor.

"He was a true and loyal friend to many and will always be in our hearts never to be forgotten."

Police said they were continuing their appeals for information as part of their investigation into the crash.

They asked anyone who witnessed the incident or captured dash-cam footage to contact police via the non-emergency line.

Sgt Paul Ewing said: "We would like to thank the public for their assistance with our investigation and our thoughts remain with the family of Mr Harrower."
