A BODY has been found in the search for missing hiker Sarah Buick after she disappeared on Ben Nevis.

The keen hillwalker shared a snap from atop Scotland's highest peak early on Tuesday morning.

She posted a series of pics from the summit on social media around 6am — but hadn't been seen or heard from since.

The experienced hiker captioned the photos: "Good morning from Ben Nevis!"

Yesterday, cops launched an appeal to try and trace the 24-year-old on the 4,411ft tall mountain.

Police officers and mountain rescue teams scoured the area in a bid to locate her.

But the force have today confirmed a body has been found during searches on Ben Nevis.

She has not been formally identified but Sarah's family have been informed.

There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
