Bodies of two hillwalkers found on the same day as death toll on Scotland's peaks rises to four in a week
The bodies of another two hillwalkers have been found in the Highlands as the number of people who have died in Scotland's mountains this week rose to four. The tragic incidents happened in a week that saw blizzards hit some of the country's highest peaks just weeks after a spring heatwave had created perfect climbing conditions. The latest tragedy took place on a 2,920ft hill in Wester Ross. A Police Scotland spokesman said: 'Around 1.20am on Saturday, June 7, the body of a 70-year-old man was recovered by mountain rescue teams from An Ruadh-stac. 'There are no suspicious circumstances and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.' The climber has not yet been named. The police statement came just hours after officers announced that a body had been found in the search for a hillwalker who went missing on the Isle of Skye. Roddy MacPherson was last seen walking towards Sligachan Bridge. The 67-year-old had not been heard from since, sparking a major search. Police have said a body was found at Harta Quarry in the Cuillins on Friday. It was spotted by a mountain rescue team and extracted by the Stornoway Coastguard helicopter. Neil Urquhart, leader of Skye MRT, said it appeared the hillwalker had fallen. His team had searched for three days in what was their seventh call-out in six days. A Police Scotland spokesman said: 'There would appear to be no suspicious circumstances. Formal identification has yet to be made. 'The family of Roddy MacPherson, 67, who had been reported missing from Skye on Wednesday, June 4 have been informed.' It comes after the death of two other hillwalkers this week. On Thursday a 46-year-old climber plunged 650 feet to his death on Ben Nevis. His female companion was rescued by visiting members of Cockermouth MRT who were on the UK's highest mountain at the time. Members of Lochaber MRT and a Coastguard helicopter from Prestwick extracted the body of the climber who was on the Great Tower of Tower Ridge – about 600 feet below the 4,413ft summit. Astie Cameron, deputy leader of Lochaber MRT, said. 'It was very difficult conditions – a return to winter. It was a full-on blizzard. 'The chap must have fallen 200 metres [656 feet]. Fortunately, there were mountain rescue team members from Cockermouth nearby and they were able to get the other climber to safety. 'But because of the conditions we had to get the man's body round to Observatory Gully so the helicopter could get in. It was very difficult.' Police Scotland said it was made aware of a hillwalker having fallen from Tower Ridge around 1.45pm on Thursday, June 6. It said the Coastguard attended and located the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene. A body was also found on Monday in the search for a missing Swiss hiker who was on a long distance trek through the Highlands. Bernard Trottet was last known to be at Corryhully Bothy near Glenfinnan on May 27. The 65-year-old had been heading north towards Kinloch Hourn in Knoydart on the Cape Wrath trail. Police discovered a man's body in the water of the Kinloch Hourn area. Again, there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances. While formal identification is yet to take place, Mr Trottet's family has been informed. It is believed Mr Trottet may have been trying to cross a river when he was swept away.

Elon Musk deletes social post making wild allegation about Donald Trump
The bromance between the US President and the erratic tech billionaire spectacularly imploded this week - with both sides making wild and unsubstantiated claims about each other on social media Elon Musk has deleted a post from his social media which made a wild and unsubstantiated allegation about Donald Trump. The post to his account on X, formerly Twitter, which Musk owns, claimed Trump's name was included in FBI files about dead paedophile Jefrey Epstein - something Trump has since denied on his own social media platform, Truth Social. Musk had written: "Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" In a follow-up post, Musk said: "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out." Earlier today, both posts were removed from the platform. Responding to the allegation, Mr Trump reposted a message from lawyer David Schoen, who wrote: "I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein's defence as his criminal lawyer 9 days before he died. He sought my advice for months before that. "I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him!" While Musk did delete that allegation, there's no indication of a cooling of the furious row between the two MAGA figureheads. Musk's X account still contains posts from recent days attacking Trump's budget bill as an "abomination", suggesting Trump's tariffs would drive the United States into recession later this year, and calling for President Trump to be impeached and replaced with Vice President JD Vance. It's been reported the row bubbled over after Trump told Musk he was withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacson - a Musk ally - to run NASA. Get Donald Trump updates straight to your WhatsApp!

According to the New York Times, Trump had learned Isaacson had donated to some Democrats and didn't think he could be counted on to be loyal to him. In another deleted post, Musk said he would offer Trump a "full throated apology" only if there was a "full dump of the Epstein files." Donald Trump repeatedly promised to release the full files related to Epstein when he took office - but has failed to do so. But both FBI director Kash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino have both publicly stated they no longer believe in many of the conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein and his death - and which have taken hold in much of Trump's MAGA base in the years since the disgraced financier's suicide. A group of influencers were given what was claimed to be "the Epstein Files" in a White House arranged media stunt - only to later complain bitterly that the binders they'd been given contained information that was already in the public domain.
