No pants??

Are any missing persons still unaccounted for in the Glencoe area?

There have been a number of bodies recovered over the past few months.

The lochan is not too far off the beaten track but it would have been a wet slog to get there.

Walked up that way a few times from the Kingshouse via the Black Corries.

There have been quite a few missing persons in Scotland this year, many a few of them have threads here.
Hopefully one of them will have a resolution.

@MsMiniSleuth is there someone you think fits this person found?

@MsMiniSleuth is there someone you think fits this person found?

I was thinking about this when I first saw it posted. I felt sure there was one, but couldn't seem to come across. Alan Taylor, as above, is a possible though.

Not really near to Lochan Na Craoibhe which I wouldn't class as in Glencoe. It's a good distance away.

 

[Taskforce88]

STV news is the only news outlet that has the correct picture of Lochan Na Craoibhe.

All others have a generic image of Glen Coe which is 10 miles away as the crow flies.

I used to live near Glencoe. The terrain and weather can be beyond brutal. I hope this gent goes home soon.

The discovery of the body was made earlier this week in Glencoe and police have not yet been able to establish the identity of the man.

The police must believe whatever happened to him must have been within a week or less of him being found.
