Public help identify unknown cyclist who died at roadside
The man, thought to be around 70-75 years of age, was pushing a distinctive green Claud Butler bike in the Argyll and Bute town at about 11:50 on Saturday when he collapsed.
Emergency services attended but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police could not initially identify the man however, after a public appeal, they now believe they know who he is - though formal identification has yet to take place.
The death is not believed to be suspicious and is being treated as unexplained. A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
Det Sgt Neil Allison said: "I would like to extend my thanks to those people who called in to assist with our appeal.
"We believe we now know who the man is which has been helped by the assistance we received from the public."

German regional train derails, killing at least three people
A regional passenger train derailed in southern Germany, killing at least three people and seriously injuring others on Sunday, authorities said. Federal and local police said the cause of the crash near Riedlingen, 158 kilometres west of Munich, remains under investigation. Photos from the scene showed parts of the train on its side as rescuers climbed atop the carriages. It was not immediately clear how many people were injured. Roughly 100 people were onboard the train when at least two carriages derailed in a forested area around 6:10 pm. Storms passed through the area before the crash, and investigators were seeking to determine if the rain was a factor. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said in a post on social platform X that he mourned the victims and gave his condolences to their families. Deutsche Bahn, Germany's main national railway operator, said in a statement that it was cooperating with investigators. The company also offered its condolences.
