Police investigating the death of a golden eagle said today the bird had been poisoned.
Wildlife crime officers said they were following a positive line of inquiry in the hunt for the eagle's killers.
The bird of prey was found by walkers earlier this month in the Glen Orchy area of Argyll, northern Scotland.
Scottish Government scientists confirmed the eagle died from poisoning caused by toxic insecticide.
An extensive search of Beinn Udlaidh, where the carcass was found, was then carried out by police.

There's a type of person I'd like to see hanging come back for. Those killing wildlife like this or the elderly or kids.
How awful!!!
