Two walkers reported missing in severe conditions in the Cairngorms have been found safe and well.

Cairngorm and Braemar mountain rescue teams were alerted at 5pm on Tuesday after two people went missing near Ben MacDui.

Rescuers said the missing pair were thought to have no map or compass and weather conditions were "poor and exceptionally windy".

Cairngorm MRT tweeted late on Tuesday evening that the pair had been located and recovery was under way.

The Braemar team added: "Team just back in from a callout on the Ben MacDui area for two lost souls, thankfully found safe and well."
