Tragic couple found dead in tent at Scots beauty spot
Adele Tait, 47, and her partner Craig are understood to have been camping together on the shores of Loch Awe, near Dalmally in Argyll, when tragedy struck.
A Scots couple have been found dead in their tent while camping near a beauty spot.
Adele Tait, 47, and her partner Craig are understood to have been camping together on the shores of Loch Awe, near Dalmally in Argyll, when tragedy struck. It is thought their loved ones raised the alarm and reported their concerns to police after they didn't hear from them.
Sadly, their bodies were discovered by officers within a tent on the side of the loch at around 4.25pm on Saturday. As reported by The Sun, the deaths are not being treated as suspicious.
Adele's heartbroken mother Anne has since posted a heartbreaking tribute on social media. Sharing a picture of the pair on Facebook, she wrote: 'I am devastated to be writing this — my eldest daughter Adele and her partner Craig have sadly passed away.
'The family are heartbroken at this time. You are my firstborn, the one who made me a mum. I'm in pieces, another part of my heart is in heaven.'
One friend posted photos of her on country walks with Adele. She said: 'Thank you for always being an amazing friend, always honest and caring.' A neighbour in Longridge added: 'They were a good couple who liked camping. It's a tragedy.'
Loch Awe is a world-famous fishing destination. Anglers come in search of the legendary Ferox Brown Trout, as well as pike and sea trout.

Spanning approximately 25 miles in length, Loch Awe stands as the longest freshwater loch in Scotland, winding through the picturesque landscapes of the Scottish Highlands.
The trip would have been a beautiful change of scenery for the couple who are thought to have lived together in a cottage in the village of Longridge, West Lothian.

Man arrested over murder of two Scots outside Spanish bar
Eddie Lyons Jr and Ross Monaghan died after a gunman opened fire outside Monaghans Bar in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol earlier this month. On Friday, officers from Merseyside Police arrested a 44-year-old man on behalf of Spanish authorities on two counts of murder. He appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday for extradition proceedings and will remain in custody. A spokesperson for the National Crime Agency said: 'On Friday June 13, officers from Merseyside Police arrested a 44-year-old man in the Liverpool area on behalf of the Spanish authorities for two counts of murder. 'The operation was supported by officers from the NCA's National Extradition Unit. 'The individual appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday June 14 for the commencement of extradition proceedings. He was remanded in custody.' The attack took place at around 11pm when a car pulled up outside the bar and a masked man got out before opening fire as the two men stood outside. The gunman fled in the car and both men died at the scene. At the time, Police Scotland said the attack did not appear to be linked with a series of criminal acts by rival groups in Scotland, and that any speculation was 'not helpful' to the investigation. The statement read: 'The investigation into the fatal shootings in Fuengirola is being carried out by Spanish police. 'Police Scotland is supporting Spanish police where requested, however, at this time we have no officers deployed within Spain. 'There is currently no intelligence to suggest the deaths of these two men in Spain are linked to the recent criminal attacks in Scotland being investigated as part of Operation Portaledge. 'Any misinformation or speculation linking the events in Spain are not helpful to the ongoing investigations in either country. 'There is also nothing to suggest that the shooting in Fuengirola was planned from within Scotland.' Operation Portaledge is investigating a suspected gang feud linked with a number of shootings, firebombings and assaults in the Glasgow and Edinburgh areas since March. More than 40 people have been arrested in connection with the incidents.
