Two walkers missing in the Highlands were found on the second day of an air and land search operation.

The man and woman were walking in the area of Beinn Teallach and Beinn a’ Chaorainn north of Glen Spean when they rang for help.

Police received a 999 call shortly after 6pm on Monday requesting help.

Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team was called out and a Sea King search and rescue helicopter from RAF Lossiemouth also joined the hunt for the missing walkers.

Police said the search was called off because of poor conditions and low visibility.

The operation resumed at first light today with the mountain rescue team again being helped by the Lossiemouth aircraft.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “around 1.30pm the two hillwalkers were traced safe and well.”

Lochaber MRT said the two, and their dog, were ‘a little tired for their night out’.
