Police have found two bodies after a father and his 12-year-old son went missing while hillwalking in Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands.

Tom Parry, 49, and his son Richie were due to return to their home in Cheshire on Wednesday after a trip to Glen Nevis and Glencoe, Scotland.

Their car was located in the Three Sisters car park in Glencoe, where they parked before setting off on a hike on Tuesday.

The bodies are yet to be formally identified, however the family of Mr Parry and his son have been informed.

Enquiries are ongoing but there are no apparent suspicious circumstances, Police Scotland said, and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal in due course.

Inspector Craig Johnstone said: “Our thoughts are with all those involved.

“I would like to thank all emergency services and Mountain Rescue volunteers.”

Glencoe is a village in western Scotland. The surrounding area is known for waterfalls and trails that climb peaks such as Buachaille Etive Mor and Bidean nam Bian.
