A missing woman who was swept into a Scots river as she tried to save her dog has been named locally as the community plan to hold a candlelight vigil in the hope she will be found.
Hazel Nairn, who is in her 60s, is still missing two days after emergency services were called to the River Don at Monymusk in Aberdeenshire. Hazel is reported to have been out walking her Westie named Rory when she got into difficulty in the water amid horror weather conditions at around 3.05pm on Friday.
Searches are continuing today and the worried community will come together for a 'Hope for Hazel' vigil at Monymusk Parish Church from 6.30pm. Rev Euan Glen told the Record: "Hazel is well-liked so we are expecting a fairly big crowd this evening.
