A young man has died after attending an Oktoberfest event in a plush Edinburgh mansion.

A member of the public discovered an unconscious man on the beach, near to Car Park 1 at Longniddry Bents around 7.45am on Sunday.

Emergency services were called but the man was later pronounced dead.

Investigations have established the man had previously been at the Oktoberfest event in Gosford House but have not yet identified him.

There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.

Anyone who is able to assist police is asked to come forward.

The man is described as white, early to mid twenties and short brown hair.

Inspector Laura Dickson said: "This has been a tragic death of a young man and we are actively trying to identify him and locate his next of kin as a matter of urgency.

"I would ask anyone who knows of someone who was at Oktoberfest but who has not come home yet to contact police immediately.

"In addition, anyone with any further information relevant to our inquiries is also asked to get in touch."
