Residents in Loanhead are paying tribute to a much-loved local woman after she sadly passed away with ‘family by her side’.
Isobel Erskine was known in the area after a lifetime of involvement with several community groups. Instantly recognisable around the town, Isobel was heavily involved with the Loanhead Gala Day and the local Girls Brigade for over 30 years.
Locals remembered her as a "lovely lady" after she died aged 80. Her heartbroken sister Janette, who returned from Australia when she heard Isobel was unwell, spoke to Edinburgh Live about her "precious sister".
