Overview
- Search teams recovered a man's body in the An Stac area of the Ben Lawers range at about 1.25pm on Sunday, May 24, and Police Scotland confirmed next‑of‑kin have been informed.
- Police also reported the recovery of a second man in the Glencoe area and said his family have been notified while formal identification and inquiries continue.
- Both deaths are not being treated as suspicious and officers will submit reports to the Procurator Fiscal as part of the statutory process.
- Multi‑agency mountain searches involved Police Scotland, Tayside Mountain Rescue and RAF Mountain Rescue and investigators have asked the public to provide any dashcam footage or sightings to 101, quoting incident numbers 2881 or 2326 of May 23.
- The cases underline the hazards of hillwalking in remote Munro country and could prompt renewed calls for walkers to carry navigation kit, tell others their plans and check weather and route conditions before setting out.
