Tributes have been paid to a “much-loved” dad-of-three killed in a hit-and-run incident in Edinburgh.

Emergency services were called to the A90 Queensferry Road around 11.15pm on Tuesday after a motorcyclist travelling on a Kawasaki KLE650 was hit by an unknown car.

Ian’s family have said the father of three will be “never forgotten”.

They issued the following statement: “Ian was a much-loved son to Elizabeth, brother to Elaine and dad to Lewis, Kim and Owen.

“He was a loving husband to Norah and stepdad to Gavin and will be very much missed grandad to Brooke and Taylor.

“He was a true and loyal friend to many and will always be in our hearts never to be forgotten.”
