POLICE are seeking information to help identify a man whose body was discovered in the Highlands.
The man was found in water at Lochan na Craoibhe, Glencoe, at about 6.30pm on Wednesday.
Enquiries are under way in a bid to establish his identity and notify his next of kin.
He is described as white with dark hair and aged between 40 and 60.
He was wearing an XL Regatta blue lightweight waterproof jacket, XXL Pep&Co purple/mauve T-shirt with a palm trees graphic, and size 10 black Gelert walking boots.
Police Scotland said a post-mortem examination will be carried out to establish an exact cause of death, with a report sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
Detective Sergeant Louise Thewlis, from Aviemore Police Office, said: “Extensive police enquiries are continuing to identify this man.
“Despite our investigations, we have not been able to establish who he is and we are appealing to the public for any assistance so we can notify his next of kin.
“I would urge anyone who recognises his description to please come forward.
“I’m also appealing for witnesses who may have been in the local area in the past week.
“Alternatively, if you have concerns about a male family member or friend who matches this description and has not been in contact, then please let us know.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference number 2817 of Wednesday June 29 2022.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
