A body has been discovered during the ongoing search for Eilidh Bell, a 25-year-old woman who was reported missing on Sunday. Police Scotland found the body near Kilkerran Road on Monday. While formal identification has not yet been completed, Ms. Bell's family has been informed.
Ms. Bell was last seen around 1 a.m. on Friday in Campbeltown, Argyll and Bute. Her disappearance was described as out of character by family members, who appealed to the public for assistance in locating her.
Her mother, Jenny Bell, expressed deep concern on Facebook, stating, "We are really worried about her and have been to the police to report her missing... we just want to know she is ok." She added that it was unusual for Eilidh not to be in contact with friends or family. Ms. Bell's aunt, Laura McEwan, also shared on social media, emphasizing how much she is loved and that she would not have missed her younger sister's birthday.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland confirmed the discovery of the body and stated that the death is being treated as unexplained. The investigation is continuing, and a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal in due course. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time.
