Tributes have poured in for the teenager who was described as a 'lovely lad' who 'could make anyone smile', Daily Record reports.
Donald Kennedy wrote: "Still can't believe this. He had the best nature and a hell of a character that could make anyone smile. He was so good to our boy and had infinite patience.

"Will always remember you, Alan Cameron. You made a massive impression in my family's life and I'll never forget you, ever."

"Forever in all our hearts, taken far too soon… Rest easy Alan Cameron."
Dexter Logan said: "Could not believe this when I heard today and the poor lad and all around him have not left my head today. Ever since I first met Alan we hit it off, one of life’s good guys that could turn his hand to anything.
"His quiet nature and willingness to lend a hand at shows and sales whenever someone was in need will always be remembered. So sorry to all at Cladich and his family and friends."
Rebecca Greenhorn added: "Such a tragedy. Such a lovely and talented young man. Thoughts are with all of Cladich and his family at this sad time."
