The body of a man has been found after a boat ran aground on an uninhabited island.

Coastguard crews were called to reports of a fisherman having fallen from the vessel near Belnahua at about 16:00 on Wednesday.

RNLI and police teams later joined the search off the island, around 20 miles from Oban.

The 58-year-old's body was discovered at about 17:15 on the same day.

Officers said his next of kin had been made aware.

They are treating the death as unexplained but do not believe there are any suspicious circumstances.

A report will also be sent to the procurator fiscal.
