An aristocrat has been found dead at the foot of some Scottish cliffs after what a friend described as a "tragic accident".
The body of Alexander Sutherland - Lord Strathnaver - was found at the bottom of 30ft cliffs at Thurso East, near the ruined 19th century Thurso Castle in Caithness.
A friend mourned the tragic loss of the "lovely, happy-go-lucky" 41-year-old, adding Lord Strathnaver had been attending the Tunes in the Dunes music festival at the weekend in Dunnet - mainland Britain's most northerly point.
