The family of a woman found dead in a burning car in Bathgate have paid tribute to her, describing her as "compassionate" and "happy".

47-year-old Ann Drummond was found alongside a 47-year-old man near to Drumcross Farm on Tuesday 25th June.

Both had sustained significant burns to their body and sadly 47-year-old Ann, from Livingston, passed away in hospital the following day.

Her death is being treated as suspicious and inquiries are continuing.

In a statement issued through Police Scotland, Ann's family said: "Our mum was a talented, compassionate and happy woman who was infinitely strong and lived a brave and exciting life.

"We are proud and honoured to call her mum and are all utterly devastated to have lost her.

"We ask that you respect our privacy at this time."

Detective Inspector Nick Brookfield from Lothian and Scottish Borders CID said: "Our deepest sympathies remain with Ann's entire family and we are continuing to support them while at the same time progressing our inquiries into her death.

"If you believe you have any relevant information to assist with this investigation then please contact police immediately.
