A body has been found in the search for a 74-year-old hiker reported missing two weeks ago on the Isle of Skye.
It follows a massive search for Francis Johnson by nearly 30 members of mountain rescue teams on Skye on Saturday. A body was found nearly 1500 feet up on the south bank of Sgurr nan Gobhar found in the Cuillins.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: "The body of a man has been found on the Cuillin range in the Isle of Skye during searches for a missing person. He is yet to be formally identified but the family of Francis Johnson, 74, who had been reported missing in the area, have been informed."

She was looking through binoculars and saw something that did not appear natural. It was only by using a large drone from Cairngorm MRT and getting right by the remains could you tell it was a body," he said.
"If our team member had not seen it would have been so easy to miss. We would also like to thank all the other teams who came to help. It also follows Friday's search."
