Officers were made aware of his death following an incident at around 9.55pm on Thursday evening.

A 19-year-old male has been arrested and charged in connection with the incident, however police inquiries into the incident remain ongoing.

He will appear at Inverness Sheriff Court on Monday, November 11.

Police have ramped up patrols in the area but stressed the incident poses no threat to the wider community.

The area was cordoned off this morning with a lone police car and officers patrolling the area.

One property, which has its front porch taped off, is the focus of police attention.

Thoughts with family death of Ben Campbell in Fort William

Detective Inspector Calum Reid added: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died at this difficult time and our officers will continue to support them as the investigation continues.

“I’m aware this incident will be of concern to the local community but I would like to reassure the public that additional patrols are in the area as part of the ongoing investigation and there is no wider threat to the community.”
