Police said the death of a 21-year-old man found at the scene was being treated as unexplained and his next of kin are aware.

A 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection with assault. Enquiries are ongoing.

Detective Inspector Euan McMillan said: "Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of this incident. However, there is no threat to the wider public.

"Officers will remain in the area as enquiries are carried out and anyone with any concerns, can approach them."

Emergency services were seen in Garry Drive, Maree Road, Lochbroom Drive and Lochard Drive. A cordon was erected as police taped off a section of Garry Maree Road and Lochard Drive, blocking access to the public.

At least ten police vehicles and dozens of officers were witnessed in attendance.

Video posted on social media appeared to show fireworks being thrown in the area earlier on Saturday.

The Scottish Ambulance Service was contacted for comment.
