Body found in major search for missing man

A body has been found following an air, land and sea search for a missing man in the Western Isles.

The family of Steven Campbell has been informed, said police.

Mr Campbell was reported missing from the Point district of Lewis, a few miles outside Stornoway.

The 37-year-old was wearing lightweight clothing when believed to have been last seen on Monday.

Mr Campbell was wearing jogging bottoms, a t-shirt and trainers.

Stornoway lifeboat and a coastguard search helicopter scoured the sea and cliffs around the Knock and Swordale coastline yesterday.

They continued into the early hours of this morning.

Coastguard volunteer teams searched on shore.

A Police Scotland spokesperson confirmed Mr Campbell’s family has been made aware that a body was found.

Formal identification will take place later today.
