Tributes have been paid to a "passionate and respected" university lecturer after a body was discovered near a Scots island. Andy Samuel, 59, had not been seen since he was spotted going from his yacht into his dinghy near Kinloch, off the Isle of Rum, at midnight on Tuesday, August 30.
The dinghy was later recovered during searches on Thursday, but Andy, an Abertay Uni lecturer from Fife, was not located. A desperate search was launched but on Saturday afternoon a body was discovered on the coastline of the island.
He is yet to be formally identified, but Andy's family have been informed. Following the devastating news, colleagues and former students have paid tribute in numbers.
