A book of condolence has been opened at the school where tragic diver Kelda Henderson taught.

Ms Henderson, a mother-of-one, died while diving at Prestonhill Quarry in Inverkeithing last weekend.

A massive rescue attempt swung into action after the alarm was raised late on Sunday night by friends when the 36-year-old failed to surface.

Tragically, Miss Henderson’s body was removed from the notorious quarry the following day.

Miss Henderson worked as a drama teacher at George Heriot’s School in Edinburgh.

The school has paid tribute to a teacher who inspired pupils.

A tribute has been placed on its website saying: “The community of George Heriot’s School has been shocked and deeply saddened by the sudden death of Kelda Henderson, from our drama department, in a tragic accident at the weekend.

“Kelda was a passionate, vibrant and clever teacher, who inspired a whole host of Herioters in the 13 years she was with us.

“In order to honour her memory, a book of condolences, which will, in time, be presented to her family, has been opened and all members of the Heriot’s family – staff, current pupils and former pupils and parents – are very welcome to provide messages, photos or memorabilia for it.”

Her death was only the latest in a long line of tragedies at the flooded Fife quarry.

Prestonhill claimed two young lives in under a year.

Cameron Lancaster, 18, died in August 2014 when an ice bucket challenge went wrong.

Then in June 2015 John McKay, 18, also died at the spot.

Security was tightened but the area is still popular among sub-aqua clubs.
