A body has been found in the search for a 28-year-old man who went missing in West Lothian last month.
The family of Joel McDiarmid, from Bathgate, has been informed of the discovery, although formal identification is yet to take place.
There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "A body has been found in the search for 28-year-old Joel McDiarmid who was missing from the Bathgate area.
