Five Missing Hill-Walkers Found
Police have safely located five of the missing six hill walkers who had not been seen since yesterday.
Once contact had been made with the group it was established that one person was still outstanding from the party of six.
The five were located on a hill near Carn Tarsuinn in the Cairngorms by Braemar Mountain Rescue Team at around 12:10pm today.
Shortly afterwards the body of a male was recovered in the Jacob's Ladder area of the Cairngorms. There has been no formal identification at this time, however, there are currently no other outstanding missing people in the area.
No further details will be issued until all next of kin have been informed.
The five walkers are safe and not injured and have been taken by helicopter to the Aviemore area. Police inquiries into the incident are continuing.
The walkers were part of a large group of 35 people who were visiting the Highlands. They are either from or connected to Leeds University.
