POLICE have confirmed that the body found near a Wester Ross quarry last week is that of missing Ullapool man Robert John Shaw.
Mr Shaw (28), above, had been missing from his home since April 19.
The body was discovered by a member of the public in a wooded area near Morefield Quarry on Wednesday, August 3.
A police spokesman said next of kin had been informed.
“A report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal and there do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances,” he added.
Northern Constabulary launched a poster and Facebook campaign in April in a bid to trace Mr Shaw, issuing flyers to B&Bs, hotels and other public places in Ross-shire.
No positive sightings were reported.
