A search was launched for a walker reported missing on the South Uist moor on Sunday.

Coastguards said the alarm was raised around 3.30pm as daylight faded when the 42-year-old man became separated from a small group on a trek out to Ushenish Lighthouse on cliffs on the east coast of Uist.

Coastguard volunteer teams set off on foot while the coastguard helicopter searched the headland area.

The missing man was found by the Lochboisdale coastguard team.

The helicopter lifted his friends off the hill to safety.
