He added: “At this early stage of the investigation we are following a number of lines of inquiry.

“I am also acutely aware of content circulating on social media and would urge the public not to speculate about the circumstances of the incident.

“The public will notice a visibly increased police presence in the area and I would encourage anyone who has any concerns to speak with our officers.

“I continue to appeal for anyone who was in the area at the time and witnessed the incident or has information that may assist us to contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 2283 of 5 July 2025.
