Tributes have been paid following the sudden death of a 'much loved' Scots teacher at the age of 29.
Aimee Brannan taught at St Mungo's High School in Falkirk and her funeral was held earlier this week.
The school did not release a formal statement but shared a touching tribute on social media saying she was "well loved by all."
Today we remember our beloved friend, teacher and colleague, Miss Aimee Brannan.

She was described as a "beautiful, kind and helpful soul" by one person who responded to the school's post.
Another said: "Miss Brannan was the most inspirational, kind and compassionate teacher, who went out of her way to create safe, fun and supportive spaces for her students.
"We will be forever grateful for the support and love she showed our girls"
Other schools including Dunblane High and Trinity High School in South Lanarkshire shared messages of condolence.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
