Prominent Scottish businessman Sir Angus Grossart CBE has died aged 85 after a short illness.
Noble Grossart bank confirmed its chief executive died peacefully at home on Friday with his family by his side.
Sir Angus jointly founded the merchant bank in 1969 and served as a director of several listed public companies in the UK, US and Canada.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon described him as a "titan of Scotland's business community".
"Through his significant contributions to the arts, culture, the economy and public life, Sir Angus leaves a deep and lasting legacy," she added.
He was a former vice chairman of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group and a former chairman of the Scottish Investment Trust PLC and of Edinburgh Fund Managers PLC
Sir Angus also served as chairman of the National Museums of Scotland, the National Galleries of Scotland, and the Heritage Lottery Fund in Scotland.
In addition, he was chairman of communications firm Charlotte Street Partners, auction house Lyon & Turnbull and Edinburgh International Culture Summit.
Charlotte Street Partners founders Andrew Wilson and Malcolm Roberston said they were extremely sad to lose a "dear friend and colleague".
"Angus's contribution to Scottish business and arts is immeasurable, but we will forever remember the great interest he took in our small company, calmly guiding us through our early years and applying his vast experience, perspective and great humour to what we might otherwise thought of as problems," they said.
