The scene of the fire

The family of a well-known Inverness businessman has been informed after a body was found within a fire-hit home in Dores.

Terry Glendinning has not been seen since a massive fire broke out at his home last Monday.

Four crews battled the flames but due to structural damage investigators were unable to get into the property to search for the 82-year-old.

However, police have now confirmed that a body has been recovered from the property.

Formal identification has yet to take place but Mr Glendinning’s family have been informed.

Detective Inspector Reuben Lindsay, from Inverness CID, said: “A joint investigation into the full circumstances of the fire remains ongoing, in partnership with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.”

Terry Glendinning

Mr Glendinning had lived in the Dores home with his family for many years and owned the popular Calterdon BMW dealership in Inverness.

Calterdon, which was sold in 2014 to Arnold Clark for an undisclosed sum, was named after its founders Calum, Terry, and Donald.
