The teenager was buried on his home island of Lewis on Friday afternoon, at the Cross Church of Scotland in Ness, where his grandfather is an elder.

Hundreds of family members and friends attended the funeral, held at the church at 2.30pm, followed by a traditional Hebridean procession.

Scott's body was found near his home at Culduthel Mains Circle where he lived with his parents and two younger sisters.

He was brought up in the crofting village of North Dell, in the north of the island, before moving onto the mainland.

A two-minute silence was held on Monday morning at Inverness Royal Academy where Scott had studied until last summer when he left to take up an apprenticeship as a mechanic at Hawcos in Inverness.
