Tributes have been paid to a Fife councillor.
Betty Campbell died at her home yesterday at the age of 76.
She represented Glenrothes West and Kinglassie for seven and a half years for Labour.
Lindsay Roy, MP for the area, said the town had lost a “true champion”.
Depute Leader of Fife Council, Lesley Laird said: "It is with much sadness that we have learned that Cllr Betty Campbell has died.
"Betty has served the Glenrothes West & Kinglassie area since May 2007 and was a well known and respected councillor.
"She was also a much loved colleague within the Labour group and well known to many staff across the council.
"Betty will be sadly missed, and our thoughts and prayers at this time are with Betty’s family and friends."
A date for a by-election will be decided in the coming weeks.
