Tributes paid to 'truly wonderful' Scots pensioner after body found following horror house blaze

Tributes have been paid to a 'truly wonderful' Scots pensioner after a body was found after a horror house blaze.

Huge structural damage was caused by the inferno at the home of Terry Glendinning, 82, which broke out around 10.30pm on Monday, May 3.

Due to the damage a full examination of the home in the Dores area, near Inverness, could not be carried out.

Detective Inspector Reuben Lindsay, from Inverness CID, said: "A joint investigation into the full circumstances of the fire remains ongoing, in partnership with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service."

Locals have paid heartfelt tributes to Terry.

One wrote: "I am so sorry to be reading this! Terry was a truly wonderful man."
