The family of a missing hillwalker from Yorkshire have been informed after the bodies of a man and a dog were found in the Scottish Highlands.

Kyle Sambrook, 33, travelled from West Yorkshire to Glencoe with his Beagle named Bane on February 18.

He had told loved ones he planned to walk and wild camp on Buachaille Etive Mor, one of the country’s most recognisable Munros.

Kyle was planning to return to his home three days later, but had not been heard from since the day he started his hike.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: ‘Around 2.15pm on Saturday, 25 February, 2023, the bodies of a man and a dog were recovered by Mountain Rescue Teams and HM Coastguard in the Glencoe Area.

‘Formal identification has yet to take place, however the family of missing man Kyle Sambrook have been informed.

‘They wish to thank all involved in the search and have requested their privacy be respected.

‘Our thoughts are with Kyle’s family as we support them at this difficult time.’

Glencoe Mountain Rescue was heavily involved in the search operation, confronting thick snow and steep cliffs over the course of several days.
