I was saddened to read this this morning, checking for 'widow-makers' should be one of the very first things to check of a potential campsite no matter how seasoned an outdoors person you are. It must be so hard for loved ones back home to get this sort of news
A man has died and another man has been injured after a tree fell on to their tent in Edinburgh.
Police were called to an area of woodland on the south bank of the Water of Leith, near Dean Village, at about 03:30.
Officers said a "very large" tree had fallen as the two men slept.
One died at the scene and the other, aged 35, suffered minor injuries. Police said the tree fell due to "natural occurrences".
It is understood the men had been wild camping in the area.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Officers have consulted with the appropriate partners, who are confident that the tree fell as a result of natural occurrences.
