Police are seeking the public’s help to identify a man whose body was recovered from the River Tay in Perth and Kinross.
The man’s body was found near to Wade’s Bridge at Aberfeldy at about 9.40am on Saturday.
He is described as white, in his late 50s or older, around 6ft 4in tall, and of medium build with sandy-blonde and grey wavy hair.
When found, he was wearing black underwear.
Police Scotland said his death is not believed to be suspicious.
Detective Inspector Simon Murray said: “Unfortunately, despite significant inquiries, we have not yet been able to establish who the man is.
“We want to establish his identity as soon as possible to inform his family of his death.”
There were no personal belongings near to where he was found, and there have been no missing persons reports matching his description.
DI Murray said inquiries are continuing to help identify where the man may have entered the water.
Local residents are being urged to come forward if the man’s description resembles anyone they know or have seen in the area.
