A CYCLIST has been found dead on a single-track road in the Scottish Highlands.

Police are appealing for information after the 66-year-old man was found unresponsive alongside his Specialized brand bike at around 3.20pm on Monday, April 7 on a road in Lethen, near Nairn.

Officers said the stretch of road is known locally as Raspberry Hill.

Emergency services attended, however he was pronounced dead at the scene. 

Police said they do not currently believe there were any other vehicles involved, but have appealed for any information.

Sergeant Douglas Scott said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased at this difficult time.

“There are not believed to be any other vehicles involved in the incident and our enquiries to establish the full circumstances are ongoing.

“If you were in the area around the time of this incident, please get in touch with officers.

“We are also asking drivers to check dash-cam to see if there is something recorded that could help our enquiries.”

Anyone who can assist is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1956 of 7 April.
