A man has died after falling while working on the roof of a major north-east grain merchants.
Emergency services were called to WN Lindsay, at Stracathro, near Brechin, early on Saturday following reports a worker has been injured.
However, the man could not be saved.
Police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) are now investigating.
The site, which sits adjacent to the southbound A90 Aberdeen to Dundee road, was cordoned off for much of Saturday.
Foresnic experts could be seen examining the scene, focusing on one of the main sheds, which had what looked like a roofing contractor’s equipment taped off at the front of it.
A police spokesman said: “A male was working on the roof at the location and had fallen.
“Sadly, he died at the scene as a result of his injuries.”
An HSE spokeswoman added: “We are aware of the incident and are making preliminary inquiries alongside the police.”
The tragedy took place as the region’s farming community gathered in nearby Brechin for the annual Angus Show.
Councillor Bob Myles, who farms on the outskirts of Edzell, said he was shocked to hear the news.
“My thoughts go out to the family of the person involved,” he said.
“Most of the farming community tend to be involved with them (WN Lindsay).
“Any death in these circumstances is absolutely tragic.
“My sympathies go out to the family of the individual who will obviously be known by many.”
WN Lindsay is Scotland’s leading independent grain merchant. It has sites at Keith, Stracathro, Forfar and Gladsmuir in East Lothian.
No-one from the company was available for comment.
