POLICE have reopened the A198 coast road between Longniddry and Aberlady.

The road was closed after a cyclist discovered human remains near the entrance to Gosford House, which were today confirmed to be Louise Tiffney.

Officers said a tree near the road has been identified as a safe spot for people who want to leave flowers or tributes for Louise and her family.

Chief Inspector Matt Paden, local area commander for East Lothian, said: “Now that our activities in the area around the A198 have concluded, I would like to thank the public for their patience and support.

“The police cordon has now been lifted and all items of evidential value to this investigation have been recovered.

“Our thoughts are with Louise’s family at this difficult time and our officers are continuing to support them.

“We recognise that members of the community may wish to pay their respects to Louise and so we have identified an appropriate tree near to the area where the remains were recovered, where people can come and lay flowers.

“The tree is easily accessible and can be viewed from the road and we would urge the public to leave any memorial items here, rather than on the roadway, where they could cause an obstruction."
