Actor Anthony Valentine, known for his roles on television, has died aged 76, his agent said.
Also a writer and director, he is best remembered for his parts in television, theatre and film.
He died peacefully on Wednesday morning, his agent Derek Webster said.
Valentine played Toby Meres in Callan and Major Mohn in Colditz, and also appeared in the West End.
He met English actress Susan Skipper on the TV show Raffles and they got married in 1982.
She said: "Tony was my best friend and it was a privilege to know, love and care for him."
In 2012 Valentine was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
In spite of this diagnosis his sense of humour never failed him and he continued to live a full and happy life, Mr Webster said.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
