Police say they are not looking for anyone in connection with the deaths of a husband and wife in their home.
The couple, named locally as Ken and Donna Graham, were discovered in a house in Echline Gardens, South Queensferry, near Edinburgh, at about 5pm yesterday.
The deaths are being treated as unexplained, police said.
Detective Chief Inspector Gary Cunningham, who is in charge of the investigation, said: "This is a tragic event and our thoughts are with the immediate family and friends of the victims.
"We still have some investigations to carry out, and police are likely to be in the area for the next few days, however I can confirm that we are not looking for anyone in connection with these deaths."
Police cordoned off part of the street to examine the scene and officers have been carrying out door-to-door inquiries in the area.
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
