A couple have been found dead in a tent from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning while camping near a loch in Argyll and Bute.

The man and woman were discovered by police on the shores of Loch Awe, close to the village of Dalmally, at about 16:25 on Saturday.

It is understood the couple, who have not been named, may have died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning related to a camping stove.
