A local police officer has been recognised for her bravery after saving two members of the public during a severe weather event in Argyll.

PC Amy Burton won the Outstanding Bravery award at the Argyll and West Dunbartonshire Police Divisional Recognition Awards 2023, held at the Corran Halls in Oban on Wednesday December 13.

The Dunoon-based constable was nearly caught in a large landslip herself as she came to the rescue, when Argyll was hit by severe floods and landslides on Saturday October 7.

Police Scotland said: “We would like to congratulate and thank all of our award winners and those well-deserved runners-up who were shortlisted for today’s Recognition Awards.

“We would also like to thank Corran Hall, Oban for the venue, Walters of Oban for the trophies, Cameron House on Loch Lomond for the Red Carpet, and Kronks Deli for the buffet.”
