A body has been found in the search for a Swiss walker who went missing in the Highlands several days ago.

Bernard Trottet, 65, was walking the Cape Wrath Trail and was last known to be at the Corryhully Bothy in Glenfinnan on May 27.

He was planning to walk north to Kinloch Hourn and then on to a campsite in the Morvich area, but did not arrive.

Police said the body of a man was found in the water in the Kinloch Hourn area at about 12.55pm on Monday.

There are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances.

Formal identification is yet to take place, but the family of Mr Trottet have been informed.

A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
