31 August 2013Mr King's body was found on Stob na Doire, which we erroneously described as a munro, which it is not.
The two munros on Buachaille Etive Mòr are Stob Dearg and Stob na Bròige.
Our apologies for the error.

01 September 2013Did the police really say remains? and did you have to print it if they did?
The poor man was missing not long and I assume his body was intact.
The 63-year-old’s remains were found about 10.20 this morning, police said.
