Scots tourist describes Tunisia gunfire

A Scottish tourist has told how she and her partner ran from the beach after hearing rapid gunfire in Sousse, Tunisia.

Diane Boyd, from East Kilbride, and David Fleming are staying at a hotel next to the beach where gunmen have killed at least 37 people.

Ms Boyd told BBC Radio Scotland's Newsdrive programme that she and her partner ran to their room when they heard the shots.

She said: "We were on the beach sunbathing when he heard sudden noise which sounded like gunfire. Everyone was running very quickly from the beach into their hotel so we just got up and ran with them and went into the reception area, which was all quite hectic.

"We ended up going up to our room for about our hour and from our balcony we could see the beach. We could see armed policemen, we could see helicopters, ambulances and coastguards."

The couple plan to stay on in Tunisia despite the attack.

Ms Boyd added: "It's a beautiful country and the people have been absolutely lovely. It is such a shame because it gives the country a bad name when actually it is really, really nice."
