Detective Inspector Gordon Smith said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Neil and Alison.

“We are providing their families with specialist support at this incredibly difficult time. They have asked for privacy.

“At this time we have no information to suggest anyone else is involved in connection with the deaths and there is no risk to the wider public.

“A police presence will remain in the area while our investigation continues and anyone with concerns should speak to officers.”

Police said that a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
