Tribute has been paid to a respected veteran Scottish journalist.

Harry Dunn was the north-east correspondent for most of Scotland's major newspapers during his career.

He died aged 94 after a short illness.

During his working life he reported on many of the region’s big stories, including the discovery of oil in the North Sea, and Aberdeen's 1964 typhoid outbreak.

He will also be remembered as The Scotsman's fisheries correspondent.

Beginning his career in 1930, Harry joined the Bon Accord Weekly and Northern Pictorial, eventually rising to the position of assistant editor, before moving to Glasgow in 1938 to become a sub-editor on the Daily Express.

Illness forced him to return to Aberdeen and prevented him from being called up when the Second World War broke out in 1939.

Other big news he covered included the return of injured men from the Murmansk convoys to military hospitals in the Aberdeen area and the first public appearance of the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

He retired in 1977 but he never fully left journalism, continuing to freelance into his 80s and presenting a weekly radio slot on fishing for the BBC in Aberdeen.
