The family of a young boy who died after getting into difficulty while swimming with friends has urged others to be aware of the dangers of open water.
William McNally was at the Clay Pits in Linwood, part of River Gryffe, when he got stuck under the water for a 'significant period of time'.
The 13-year-old was eventually pulled from the water and rushed to hospital where he sadly passed away due to his 'catastrophic injuries' on June 5, 2021.
