Tributes paid to Bard of Dundee

The music world joined together to pay tribute to acclaimed Scots singer-songwriter Michael Marra – the "Bard of Dundee" – who has died aged 60.

One of Dundee's cultural icons, Marra was famous for songs such as Hamish the Goalie and Beefhearts and Bones, both of which demonstrated his unique Dundonian take on life.

The fervent Dundee fan had been suffering from an illness for some time before he died on Tuesday.
