The discovery was made near the Carbost area of the island at 12.10pm on Friday, May 19. His family have been informed.

A multi-unit search operation had been underway to trace the missing man after he fell into the water the previous day. A HM Coastguard helicopter, police search units, teams from Mountain Rescue and ambulance service crews had been drafted in to the rescue mission.
