A body has been found in a gully near Glencoe amid the search for a man missing since last year.
While no formal identifications have taken place, officers believe a body discovered near Aonach Eagach Ridge is that of Alan Taylor.
The 57-year-old, from Dundee, was last seen on September 8, 2021 and was understood to have been in Glencoe the following day.
Police Scotland received reports that a body was found on the Scottish mountain on Wednesday, August 31.
The death is not being treated as suspicious and officers are liaising with Mr Taylor's family.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "On Wednesday, August 31, 2022, police received a report the body of a man had been discovered in a gully near Aonach Eagach Ridge, Glencoe.
"A formal identification has still to take place, however, police believe it to be 57-year-old Alan Taylor, who has been missing from Dundee since September 2021.
"Officers are liaising with the family. The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
