A man allegedly murdered with a shotgun by a former head gamekeeper was initially thought to have died after a medical episode and a fall, a court has heard.

A trial at the High Court in Glasgow was told on Friday that the death of Brian Low was initially treated as non-suspicious after he was found dead on a track with blood on his face just outside Aberfeldy, Perth and Kinross.
