A man who went missing while hillwalking was found safe today.

He was found just after midnight on 3232ft Ben Vorlich, near Loch Earn, Perthshire, during a search by three mountain rescue teams. He made it safely off the hill by 2.20am.

The man, in his mid-40s and from Fife, had been walking with a friend yesterday before the pair were separated close to the summit of Ben Vorlich.
