A teenager from East Ayrshire is among 47 people to be honoured with a bravery and heroism award.

Ryan Quinn from Mauchline was awarded the St Andrew's Award for exceptional acts of bravery after he rushed to help following a Rangers' supporters bus crash in October 2016 that left one person dead.

The Brave@Heart Awards recognises acts of bravery and heroism, and the recipients are from the general public as well as the emergency and voluntary sectors.

The awards were presented by the First Minister at a special event held at Edinburgh Castle on Tuesday.

She said: "Each year I am honoured and humbled to be able to present these awards to individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary bravery.

"This is our chance to say a heartfelt thank you to those who, every day risk their lives in their professional roles and to members of the public who have stepped in to help a fellow citizen in danger or distress.

"Everyone who has been nominated for an award is a credit to Scotland and an inspiration to us all."

Brave@Heart 2017 panel chairwoman Lindsay Burley said: "We must never forget how privileged we are to have such dedicated emergency professionals and members of the public, willing to assist even when their own lives are in danger.

"They are an inspiration to us all and I would like to offer my congratulations to all the winners."
