An American tourist has been found dead after being reported missing in the Scottish Highlands. The remains of Timothy Rosser, 60, were found on Sunday on Aonach Eagach ridge, having been reported missing earlier in the week, the Daily Mail reports. Police said he was last seen leaving Edinburgh in a hire car, which was then spotted in Glencoe on Tuesday. He was found by the Inverness coastguard search and rescue helicopter and is thought to have suffered a major fall. “Formal identification has yet to take place; however, the family of Timothy Rosser, 60, who had been reported missing from the area, has been informed,” Police Scotland said in a statement, adding that the death is not suspicious. “He had taken a significant fall. He was at about 600-700 meters where the body was discovered,’ said Glencoe Mountain Rescue’s Brian Bathurst. “It is steep terrain there and he was on the south side of the ridge. It is a long way down from there and people are unlikely to survive such a fall. He is likely to have been there for a few days. The terrain is complex and not easy to search and spot somebody. There are lots of nooks and crannies.”
