Relatives of a woman who died after being scalded in a shower at an Edinburgh hotel have received compensation and an apology.

Kalyani Uthaman, 59, from India was in holiday in August 2012 when the incident happened at the Premier Inn in Newcraighall.

Mrs Uthaman suffered multiple organ failure following the incident and died in hospital weeks later.

A spokesman for Premier Inn said: "We are very sorry for the tragic accident that occurred to Ms Uthaman in 2012 and our thoughts are with her family.

"We take millions of bookings every year and we would like to reassure our guests that this was an isolated incident.

"We constantly monitor and regulate the water temperature of our showers in line with industry best practice, which is based on Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulatory guidance and NHS health care guidelines."
