The headteacher of a tragic Scots schoolgirl who died after falling from a roof above a supermarket in Largs has paid tribute and said support will be offered to the devastated pupils.
Sarah Short, 13, from Fairlie, fell from Tesco Express on Aitken Street just before midnight on Saturday.
She tragically passed away at the scene and her death is not being treated as suspicious.
The tragic news has left her friends and family completely heartbroken - and the headteacher at Largs Academy, where Sarah was a pupil, says the students are devastated.
John Doherty said: "We are all shocked and saddened at the tragic death of one our pupils.
“My thoughts go out to family, friends and the whole school community who will be affected by this awful news.
"The school and education service will provide as much support and help as we can."
Her heartbroken mum Gail has lead tributes to her daughter with a simple picture of them together in happier times.
One relative wrote: "My beautiful Sarahkins."
A friend added: "Just beautiful Gail. Thinking of you all."
Devastated pals of the popular teen have paid tribute to Sarah, who has been described as "caring, kind, funny and always up for anything".
