A body has been found in the search for a man missing from home for two days.

Peter Ripley, 60, disappeared from his home in Bonar Bridge, Sutherland, on Sunday evening.

Officers searching the village with the help of local volunteers found a man's body on Tuesday.

The remains have not yet been identified but there do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "Whilst formal identification is yet to take place, next of kin are aware and there doesn't appear to be any suspicious circumstances.

"Partner agencies and members of the local community are thanked for their assistance with the search effort."
