A body found in the Cairngorms has been identified as a climber who d****isappeared more than two months ago.

Jim Robertson from Glasgow was reported missing when he failed to return from a trip to the area in March.

His body was found in the Glen Lui area of the Cairngorms last week and he was formally identified on Tuesday.

Mr Robertson's family plans to hold a service for the 61-year-old later this month.

His daughter, Lynn, said: "Although the loss of our dad is heartbreaking for us, we are so happy and blessed to have had him in our lives and we are really hoping this feeling will shine through the on the day."

A major search was launched in the days following Mr Robertson's disappearance involving more than 80 mountain rescue volunteers, police officers, search dogs and the coastguard.

His family has raised nearly £12,000 to support Braemar Mountain Rescue Team, which led the search.

Police Scotland detective sergeant Andrew Wilson said: "Our thoughts are with Mr Robertson's family and friends at this very sad time and I would like to express my appreciation to them for their support as rescue teams carried out searches.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to highlight the commitment shown by the volunteers from Braemar, Aberdeen and Cairngorm mountain rescue teams as well as the Search and Rescue Dogs Association and air support from the coastguard.

"Thank you also to the public who provided us with information throughout as we carried out extensive searches for Mr Robertson - your support was invaluable."
