Lost

A tourist, staying in a hotel near Rhiconich, in the far northwestern Highlands of Scotland, was reported missing last night. He had been hillwalking and birdwatching, but failed to return to the hotel at nightfall. Police and coastguards, including a helicopter, were out to look for the man. Weather conditions were very poor, with high winds, rain and snow.

The missing man was finally located along the road south, towards Ullapool, at 3.50 am. He had fallen and hit his head, which left him confused and disorientated. The man was not dressed for serious hillwalking.
