Former BBC presenter John Milne has died, aged 72.
The Scottish broadcaster worked at the corporation for nearly 40 years, retiring in 2007.
He was the first presenter of Good Morning Scotland on BBC Radio Scotland, before hosting Reporting Scotland for ten years in the 1980s and 1990s.
In the 2000s, he presented Newsnight Scotland on TV. He also hosted Newsweek Scotland before retiring at the age of 65.
Former colleague Jackie Bird said: "He was Reporting Scotland. I was in awe at working with someone with such a reputation, but he turned out to be warm and welcoming with a fantastically dry sense of humour.
"He was a true Scottish broadcasting great."
Milne was known to have helped mould Scottish current affairs journalism, and for his relaxed style of hosting the news.

"Well it's an unsettled picture as we head towards the end of the week," says the royal, authoritatively. He and wife Camilla were on a tour of a BBC News facility when they were invited to sit in on a lunchtime taping of "Reporting Scotland," reports the U.K.'s Telegraph.
As he goes on and realizes that the map behind him is highlighting his royal residences, he quips, "Who the hell wrote this script?"
