Yvonne and Michael Rennie's neighbours spoke of their sadness at the tragedy.
Kathleen Lumsden, 76, a retired printer, said she was "really shocked and very, very saddened," adding: "They were our neighbours for about six years and both Yvonne and Michael were very friendly and good people.
"Michael's going to feel dreadful when he comes back. He's always been a good neighbour to me so I will do as much as I can to help him.
"He was very lucky to have survived but I don't know if he'll think he's been lucky."
Kathleen said Mr Rennie, a grandfather, worked away from home during the week returning to the marital home at weekends. The couple are thought to have been married for about two or three years and had previously lived in Dundee.
The Rennies' next door neighbour Linda Kettles added: "They are very, very nice people who kept themselves to themselves.
"They'd gone on holiday to enjoy themselves. They only get the weekends together. I'm totally devastated by the news. I feel for their families."
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
