Police Scotland confirmed that the body was recovered in the An Stac area and stated there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death. Chalmers' family has been notified and expressed gratitude to the rescue teams involved. Meanwhile, concerns are mounting for Timothy Rosser, a 60-year-old American hiker who went missing in the Glencoe area after starting his walk on Saturday morning.
