A biker who died following a tragic accident in Aberdeenshire has been named as Andrew Murray from Fife.
Known as Andy – and to biker friends as the Silver Fox – the 53-year-old from Methil was killed after crashing on one of Scotland’s most popular cycle routes earlier this month.
He had been enjoying a ride on his Suzuki motorcycle on the A93 between Glenshee and Braemar when tragedy struck at around 1.45pm on Friday July 13.
The popular Fife Council electrician was well-known in the biker community.
His devastated family have paid tribute to him and thanked those who assisted in the immediate aftermath of the crash.
In a statement they said: “Andy was an electrician with Fife Council and a keen motorcyclist.
“He was active in charity work with the local biker community and was 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.
“They 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.”
Mr Murray’s death came less than a fortnight after a 65-year-old woman died on the same stretch of road near Spittal of Glenshee.
She had been a passenger on a BMW bike when it was in collision with a Triumph machine five miles south of Braemar.
