A body has been found in Perthshire that police suspect could be a hillwalker who was reported missing more than a year and a half ago.
Ross Kinghorn, 57, travelled by train from Linlithgow, West Lothian, on Monday January 16 with the intention of going hillwalking in the Bridge of Tilt area of Perthshire.
He was last seen at around 9am that day after he arrived in Blair Atholl.
It is believed he set out for the Beinn a’ Ghlo hills nearby the same day.
He was reported missing on January 20 after failing to return as planned.
Personal items belonging to Mr Kinghorn were found near Bridge of Tilt during a search operation.
Police Scotland said a body was found in the Glenfernate area of Blairgowrie earlier this week.
