A body has been found in the search for a 74-year-old hiker who was last seen more than two weeks ago at a campsite on the Isle of Skye.
Francis Johnson left his home in Dorset on Monday, 4 September, and travelled to the West coast of Scotland, booking into various campsites.
He arrived at the Glenbrittle site on Skye on Wednesday and planned to stay for a few days.
Mr Johnson has not been seen since and his camping equipment and car are still on site.
However, on Sunday, police have said the body of a man has been found on the Cuillin range in the Isle of Skye.
He is yet to be formally identified but the family of Francis Johnson have been informed.
