The 60-year old man who was reported missing yesterday is feared to have died after falling down a waterfall. He was a member of the Arrochar Mountain Rescue Team who had been walking on the eastern side of Rum yesterday afternoon, when he slipped and fell into a waterfall. Very poor weather conditions earlier today hampered a continued rescue operation, and the rescue services have now abandoned hope of finding the victim alive. No trace of him has been found.

  2. This is too bad. You have such stark looking mountains there. Must be easy to lose you footing.
