Police are appealing for information about the death of a man whose body was found three days after he set off walking along the A82 in Ballachulish.

The 52-year-old's body was discovered near a cycle path just south of the Ballachulish roundabout at about 10:25 on Thursday.

Police have established that he left the Ballachulish Hotel at about 20:30 on Monday with the intention of walking along the footpath alongside the A82 south towards Balluchulish.

His death is being treated as unexplained but is not thought to be suspicious.

Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen the man or who has dashcam footage from the area at the time to contact them.

Det Insp Andy Bilton said: "Inquiries are at an early stage and we are appealing for the help of the public to establish the last movements of the man as he made his way from the Ballachulish Hotel.

"I would urge anyone who was driving on the A82 around this time to think back – did you see someone in the area?"
