A Glasgow dad has spoken out after three recent water deaths took him back to the drowning of his own son in the city's River Clyde.
Duncan Speirs lost his son, Christopher, in 2016 after he drowned in the River Clyde aged 28. In the years since then, Duncan has campaigned relentlessly for better water safety across the country.
Recent deaths at beauty spots in Scotland include 14-year-old schoolgirl Nieve McIsaac, who died at Royal Children's Hospital in Glasgow on July 16 after getting into difficulty in the water at River Teith in Bridge of Allan. Kayaker Stuart Bailey, 51, was later recovered from the River Spey near Fochabers in Moray on Sunday, July 17, after he capsized, as reported by the Daily Record.
