A BODY has been found in the Highlands in the search for a man who went missing from his home in London two months ago.
Marc Drostle was believed to have travelled to Aviemore in the Cairngorms from London on Thursday December 12.
A number of sightings of him were reported between December 19 and 24, but police were unable to trace him.
He was seen in the Abernethy National Nature Reserve, near Nethy Bridge, between December 19 and 21 with the most recent sighting believed to have been in the Anagach Woods near Granton around 3pm on Christmas Eve.
The 28-year-old was officially reported missing on December 21.
Police Scotland said on Thursday that officers attended a woodland area in Nethy Bridge, Strathspey – an area where he had reportedly been seen – at about 7.50am where a body was found.
Emergency services, including mountain rescue teams, also attended and recovered the body.
Formal identification is yet to take place but Drostle’s family have been informed.
His death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
