Body found in South Uist

Back at work with jetlag and some kind of rsi complaint that seems to have developed while I wasn't typing for the last fortnight.

Not a great Sunday for politics, it has to be said. The saddest news seems to be the discovery of a body in a loch in South Uist this morning which police will not yet confirm as the remains of Simon Macmillan, the 21 year old Uist man, who went missing on December 26th.

According to the Police the discovery was made to the south of Loch Bee on South Uist at about 10.45am this morning, near Gerinish.

A Northern Constabulary statement said: "Police are presently at the scene, carrying out inquiries into the circumstances."
