A young driver who admitted killing Perthshire toddler Harlow Edwards by driving dangerously and crashing into her on a pavement has been jailed for six years.
Luke Pirie lost control of his vehicle and caused the death of the two-year-old in Coupar Angus last October.
A court previously heard that Harlow’s mother Sara “can’t put into words her grief at losing her baby”.

Pirie, 23, of Forfar, appeared at the High Court in Glasgow on Wednesday and was locked up for six years.
He had earlier admitted causing serious injury to two other people, a 17-year-old girl and a six-year-old boy, in the same incident.
The court was told Prie had passed his driving test the previous year and was said to be “worked up” and angry as he left his work at Scone Airport in Perth to travel to his partner’s house in Montrose.
Advocate Depute Iain McSporran QC told how Pirie was seen speeding through Coupar Angus and had used his mobile for calls, texts and Facetime before the crash.
