Tributes have been paid to a teenage girl who was found dead near to a busy road in Scotland.
Officers were called to the road in Uddingston, South Lanarkshire, at the weekend where the tragic discovery was made.
The 15-year-old has since been named locally as Taylor Malcolm, with tributes pouring in for the teen.
Taylor's family paid tribute to the young Celtics fan who was described as an "angel" who was "far too good for this world", the Daily Record reports.
Her uncle Kristofer Weir wrote: "Well Taylor what can I say, I just can't believe I am having to write this. I love you, always will, please please please give your daddy the strength.
"I know your sister is there buzzing to see you, until we meet again. Your Uncle Kristofer is broken, I promise to look after your dad, love and miss you hen, sleep tight."
Police Scotland confirmed they were called to the town at 8.30am on Saturday where Taylor's body was discovered, adding that her death was not being treated as suspicious at this time.
The tragedy is understood to have been the second suffered by Taylor's family after losing her sister, Rhiannon.
Gemma Rundle said: "I was hoping it was all a bad dream. My heart is broken, you beautiful angel were far too good for this world. I just know you're with Rhiannon again.
"You will be sorely missed, I loved watching you grow up into the most beautiful young girl, wish you knew how loved you are. Rhiannon, look after our sweet girl."
Nadine Malcolm wrote: "Life is so cruel, don’t take anything for granted ever! Rest easy beautiful girl.
"Taken far too soon from us all, we all know you're with Rhiannon now and she’ll be looking after you for us. I wish you knew how loved you were!"
Family friend Jammy Hayes has started a fundraiser to help Taylor's family pay for her funeral.
He said: "Taylor was a beautiful young girl who was so kind to everyone she met.
"I am asking everyone I know if they would like to help Taylor’s family at this very sad time and to show that we are there for them.
"Taylor you will be sorely missed God bless."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 8.30am on Saturday, April 22, 2023, the body of a 15-year-old female was discovered near Union Way, Uddingston.
"There do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal."
