TRIBUTES have been paid to a “much-loved son, father and partner” who died in a crash near Stirling.
Police were called to a single-car crash on the A84 at around 7.45pm on February 27.
Jonathan Marshall Watson, 48, who was driving an Audi A3, was pronounced dead at the scene.
In a statement released through Police Scotland, Watson’s family said: “Jonathan was a much-loved son, father and partner who studied and worked in marine biology, the oil industry, and commercial diving, to name a few.
“A keen musician and astrophile specialising in astro-photography.
“We would like to thank friends, family and members of the public for their support and condolences at this difficult time.”
Inspector Andrew Thomson said: “Our thoughts are with Jonathan’s family and friends at this time. I’d especially like to thank members of the public who stopped and provided assistance before emergency services arrived.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
