TRIBUTES have been paid to a Glasgow teenager who tragically died at Loch Lomond yesterday.

Emergency services were called to the scene at Balloch Country Park following a report of concern for a boy in the water just before 6pm.

A male was recovered shortly after from the water and was pronounced dead at the scene.

He has now been named locally as Connor Markward from Glasgow.

One friend wrote: "You were 1 in a million rest easy Connor Markward."

Another added: "Will never meet a boy more caring in all my life! Until we meet again!"
