Body found in search for missing man

Northern Constabulary have confirmed that a man’s body was found last Thursday near the Cluanie dam following a large-scale search involving the Glenelg Mountain Rescue Team and SARDA dog handlers. Alexander Adam, 23, has been missing since leaving a party in Cluanie on Sunday, however police have yet to confirm the deceased’s identity.

In the meantime searches are continuing in the Highlands for two other missing men. Three mountain rescue teams, SARDA dogs and an RAF helicopter have been searching Kintail for Stewart Sutherland, 52, from the Glasgow area. He was last seen in Glengarry more than a week ago.

The police are also searching for John Binsley, 59, from Staffordshire, who had been camping near Inverness. He left the camp site on 19 September and was heading for Fort William and has not been seen since.
