After an intense week-long search, the heartbreaking news came that the body of 77-year-old Struan Robertson had been found near Haugh Island, Logierait in Tayside. Mr Robertson had been swept away in the River Tay due to heavy flooding in Scotland last Sunday.
Mr Robertson's son Euan spoke to The Courier newspaper about the tragedy. He said that his father had been trying to clear a hydro device to power the electricity, but he had lost his footing and was swept away by the current. Euan had been in Perth at the time, but his mother was with him when it happened.
The search for Mr Robertson was difficult and challenging in the bad weather conditions. A police helicopter and drones were sent to search for him on Monday. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service also searched the area for more than three hours on Sunday night.
Unfortunately, the search was unsuccessful. But on Saturday afternoon, the body of a man was recovered from the River Tay. The family of Mr Robertson was informed, but the body has yet to be formally identified.
A spokesperson from the police has said that there does not seem to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death, and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal. More bad weather is expected this weekend across the north of Scotland.
