Trio of missing hikers who set out on treacherous ridge in Scottish Highlands found dead

ASSOCIATED PRESS

The bodies of three missing hikers were recovered from a mountain in the Scottish Highlands after they didn't return from a notoriously difficult scramble on the narrowest ridge crest in Britain, police said Monday.

The trio set out Saturday in Glen Coe to hike the Aonach Eagach, a 6-mile (10-kilometer) knife-edge ridge that tops out at 3,600 feet (1,100 meters) and has precipitous drops. A search began after sunset when they didn't return, Police Scotland said.
