THE family of tragic Cardenden tot Robyn Knox have been hailed for their "consistent dignity, strength and unity" after legal action was settled against the driver involved in the fatal accident.

The toddler died in August 2020, aged three, after being struck by a car on Townhill's Main Street.

No one was prosecuted following the tragedy and her parents, Danielle Falconer and Barry Knox, confirmed last year they were pursuing civil action in a bid for answers.

The case has now settled out-of-court for an undisclosed sum.

Innes Laing, Partner at Digby Brown in Kirkcaldy, said: “No parent expects to lose a child and I sincerely commend Robyn’s family for their consistent dignity, strength and unity.

“I think it’s important to note, as many people will empathise, that no one ever wants to be in this position.

“Everyone knows compensation will never replace a loved one but what a civil case can do is help provide answers to the many questions families have after a fatal accident – especially if the authorities took no further action, leaving bereaved families feeling like they have nowhere else to go for help.

“Now the civil action has ended I can only express my condolences to Robyn’s family and pass on my sincerest regards as they look to the future.”

Speaking to the Press two months after her daughter died, Danielle, who was expecting twins at the time, said life had been a "complete blur".

Robyn was described as a “loving, kind, gentle and caring wee soul with the biggest heart of gold”.

In the days following Robyn's death calls were made to improve road safety on Main Street, with temporary bollards placed and then a traffic order for parking restrictions made in 2021.

A 30ft mural depicting the toddler was created in October 2020 on the side of the shop near where she was killed. The artwork, by renowned Kelty artist Donna Forrester, includes personal touches such as a custom-designed dance outfit, family poem and Robyn’s beloved toy rabbit ‘baby’.

Danielle and Barry have also raised money since the tragedy for other families who have either lost a child or have a child in long-term care.

Their efforts will fund "helping hand boxes" which will include things which would have helped Robyn's family.
