Police have confirmed there is no criminality following the death of a man whose body was discovered near Ballachulish earlier this week.

The 52-year-old was found close to the cycle path just south of the Ballachulish roundabout, near the A82, at around 10.25am on Thursday, November 6, 2025.

It’s understood he had left the Ballachulish Hotel around 8.30pm on Monday, 3 November, intending to walk south along the footpath beside the A82.

Following earlier appeals for information to trace his movements, Police Scotland said enquiries have now concluded.

A spokesperson said: “Our enquiries have now concluded and no criminality has been established.

“The death is being treated as non-suspicious and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

“The man’s next of kin have been informed and our thoughts remain with them.

“We thank the public for their assistance following our appeal for information.”
