The 54-year-old is believed to have set off with the intention of hiking towards Kyle of Lochalsh via Glen Affric.

Police said a member of the public discovered the body of a man in a wooded area near the village of Tomich in Inverness-shire at around 3.30pm on Thursday.

A spokesman for the force added: "Officers attended and located the body of a man in his 50s. There are no suspicious circumstances and as with all sudden deaths a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal."

Officers are liaising with Mr Van Det Wetering's family in the Netherlands.
