Police have named a grandmother who died after she was swept away in an Angus
river during Storm Babet.

The body of Wendy Taylor, 57, was recovered from the Water of Lee, Glen Esk, at
about 16:00 on Thursday.

She was reported missing at 13:45 as parts of the country were hit by torrential
rain and severe winds.

Officers said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and a
report would be submitted to the procurator fiscal.

In a statement, released through Police Scotland, Ms Taylor's family said: "We
are absolutely heartbroken to lose Wendy in such tragic circumstances and are
still struggling to come to terms with it.

"Wendy was a beautiful, kind, funny and caring person.

"She was a ray of sunshine for everyone who was fortunate enough to know her."

The family thanked Police Scotland and singled out Paul Morgan, of Police
Mountain Rescue, who recovered Ms Taylor's body.

The statement added: "Wendy was the beloved wife, best friend and soulmate in
life to George, mother to James, Sally and Susanna and Granny to India and
George.

"Thank you to all of our extended family and friends for supporting us through
this indescribably difficult time."

A 56-year-old man was killed on the same day after a falling tree hit a van near
Forfar in Angus.

The storm has also claimed two lives in England, a man in his 60s in Shropshire
and a woman in her 80s in Chesterfield.

A man who is said to have been trapped in a vehicle in floodwater in Marykirk,
Aberdeenshire, remains missing.
