Tributes are being paid to a former Aberdeen hotel owner described as a "lovely man", following his death in a shooting at a bar on the Caribbean island of St Lucia.
Donnie McKinnon was at the bar in Market Road, Soufriere, along with another British man, Peter Jackson, when the incident happened on Saturday afternoon, according to local reports.
Mr McKinnon, from Scotland, died while Mr Jackson was taken to hospital.
The St Lucia Times reported that both men had lived on the island for some time.

Mr McKinnon previously worked as manager at the Marcliffe Hotel and Spa in Aberdeen.
A hotel spokeswoman said: "All of us at the Marcliffe Hotel are devastated to hear of the death of Donnie McKinnon in such terrible and violent circumstances.
"We are all part of the Marcliffe family - staff past and present - and to lose Donnie in such a way has deeply saddened us all.
"We will remember him as the lovely, unassuming and very popular guy we all knew; he will be sorely missed. We send our love and condolences to his family and friends at this sad time."
