Body found after five-week search for missing German walker

The body of a German walker, who had been missing for more than five weeks, has been found on the Isle of Skye.

Police Scotland said Matthias Beutin, 57, was discovered near Coire Dubh, Blaven, at about 14:15 on Saturday.

A force spokesperson said the death was being treated as unexplained but was not believed to be suspicious.

Mr Beutin was last seen at Blaven car park, near Loch Slapin, before setting out to climb Blà Bheinn on 9 October.

Skye Mountain Rescue previously said teams faced "challenging terrain" and "poor visibility" during the search for Mr Beutin.

The Search and Rescue Dog Association, Kintail Mountain Rescue and the Royal Air Force Mountain Rescue Service also took part in efforts to find him.

Blà Bheinn, also known as Blaven, is a popular Munro for walkers and climbers in an isolated part of Skye, on the outskirts of the Cullin Ridge.
