The daughter of a woman swept to her death in a swollen river has told how she has taken up kayaking in a desperate bid to find her mum’s body.
Hazel Nairn, 71, was carrying her West Highland terrier and walking arm-in-arm with a friend when both women lost their footing on a flooded track in severe weather. They were pulled into the River Don, which had burst its banks.
While her friend pulled herself to safety, she witnessed Hazel and dog Rory disappearing down the torrent of water close to Monymusk, Aberdeenshire.
