A man has died after a boat overturned on a loch between Wick and Thurso in the far north of Scotland.

The vessel, containing two people, capsized on Loch Watten in the Highlands at about 1640 BST.

A second man, who was recovered from the water, is being treated in Caithness General Hospital.

As searches continued, a body was found on the shoreline of the loch by a local farmer. Police said the man would not be named until relatives were informed.

The two men are understood to have been fishing from the boat.

An RAF helicopter from Lossiemouth had been searching the loch, along with local coastguard rescue teams and police.

A Coastguard spokesman described weather conditions in the area as "reasonable" with good visibility.
