Police have named the walker whose body was found on a Highland mountain on Saturday.

Jim Jack, of Airdrie in North Lanarkshire, was found by rescuers after being reported overdue in the Glenfinnan area.

Members of the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team found the walker on Streap, a 909m (2,982ft) peak about 5km north-east of the Corryhully bothy, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

RAF Leuchars Mountain Rescue Team also helped in the search, which was supported by a Sea King helicopter from RAF Lossiemouth.

Mr Jack’s death was the 13th on the mountains of Scotland this year.
