A hillwalker who died in the Cairngorms has been named by police.
Graham Connell, 31, from Castleford, West Yorkshire, was found dead yesterday, following a large-scale search for him and five other people who were reported overdue on Sunday afternoon.
The other members in the party were picked up by an RAF rescue helicopter on a hill near Carn Tarsuinn at around 12.10pm. They were not hurt.
The search involved more than 100 people.
