Dundas Street death: appeal for information

Lothian and Borders Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses following a fatal collision in Dundas Street in the early hours of Saturday morning (December 8).

Forty-three-year-old Edinburgh man Gavin Fulton (pictured) died after being injured in the collision as he walked along the pavement in Dundas Street around 1.20am.

Gavin is described by his friends and family as “one of life’s really good guys”. His father, Bill Fulton, said: “Gavin lived for his family, he was much loved and we will all miss him very much.”

His wife, Jill Fulton, said: “Gavin and I taught our children to be road wise and stay on the pavements where they are safe. Mia, Faye and I along with Gavin’s family are devastated that he was not safe on the pavement. We have lost the most amazing husband, father, son and brother.”

A 50-year-old man has been charged and is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today (December 10) in connection with the incident.

Officers are particularly keen to trace a man who was wearing a mustard-coloured jacket or shirt who was seen in the area around the time of the collision.

Anyone with any information should contact Lothian and Borders Police on 0131 311 3131, or alternatively the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
