The bodies of another two hillwalkers have been found in the Highlands as the number of people who have died in Scotland's mountains this week rose to four.
The tragic incidents happened in a week that saw blizzards hit some of the country’s highest peaks just weeks after a spring heatwave had created perfect climbing conditions.
The latest tragedy took place on a 2,920ft hill in Wester Ross. A Police Scotland spokesman said: ‘Around 1.20am on Saturday, June 7, the body of a 70-year-old man was recovered by mountain rescue teams from An Ruadh-stac.
‘There are no suspicious circumstances and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.’
The climber has not yet been named. The police statement came just hours after officers announced that a body had been found in the search for a hillwalker who went missing on the Isle of Skye.
