The body of a man missing for more than a year has been found in a wooded area near Portree on the Isle of Skye, police have announced.
The discovery was made around 3pm on Tuesday, December 3, west of Portree.
Police say formal identification has yet to take place but the family of Harry MacDonald has been informed.
The 59-year-old was last seen in the Peinmore area of Skye on September 20, 2022 after leaving his beloved dog with a family member before going out on a nature walk.
This was said to be “completely out of character for him”.
At the time, coastguard rescue teams were deployed throughout the area after Mr MacDonald was officially reported missing.
A police spokeswoman said: “The death is currently being treated as unexplained pending further inquiries. A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.”
