The sudden death of a woman in the west Highlands, which caused the call out of five fire units including a specialist decontamination team, is not being treated as suspicious by police.

The woman was named locally as Ann Marie Clegg, who was in her 50s.

She was found dead at a house in the village of Glenuig on Tuesday afternoon.

Ms Clegg helped run the family business, Glenuig Estate, with partner Hamish Begg and other members of the family.

Police attended after receiving a 999 call at about 3.50pm.

However the fire service was also alerted because of fears that dangerous chemicals might have been in the vicinity involved.

In the event no chemicals were present, it is understood.

Two fire appliances from Fort William were joined by one from Aviemore as well as a special environmental pod and decontamination unit from Inverness which was accompanied by another fire unit from the city.

The units remained on scene at Parkan Dubh, Glenuig, until around 6.30pm, while police were on scene until 8pm.

However it is understood that no chemicals were found.

A police spokesman said that the death was not being treated as suspicious.

He added: “Initial reports received by Police Scotland were that there may have been dangerous chemicals in the area at the time of the incident.

“As a precaution, and to keep those attending at the scene away from possible health risks, the area was cordoned off until the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service could attend and declare the area safe.

“A decontamination unit from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service attended at the scene and declared the area free from any further risk.”
