Fresh appeal over eagle killing
A fresh appeal has been made for the public to help trace the killer of a golden eagle in the Borders.
Crimestoppers Scotland has urged people to leave information about the incident near Peebles on its anonymous hotline.
The bird - one of the only breeding pair in the region - was found dead on 12 August and rewards have been offered for information about its death.
A spokesman for Crimestoppers said he hoped people might be more inclined to leave information anonymously.
"Crimestoppers Scotland is offering assistance to the agencies investigating the poisoning of this wildlife "treasure" because information will often only be received if it can be given anonymously," he said.
