Mr Rosser, 60, was last seen in Glencoe in his black MH hire car on Tuesday, May 19, and police have said it was “out of character” for him to have not contacted his family.

Police also said he had failed to check in to pre-booked hotels.

Police Scotland said the death is not believed to be suspicious, and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
