GoogleAn eight-year-old boy has been sexually assaulted in his tent while camping with his family in the Highlands.
Police said a man approached the child between midnight and 01:00 in the early hours of Thursday at the Loch Ness Bay campsite in Drumnadrochit.
The suspect is described as a white man, aged between 40 to 50-years-old, around 5ft 10ins (1.78m) tall and bald.
Extensive enquiries are ongoing, and specialist officers are supporting the boy and his family.
Det Insp Christopher Macleod said: “A dedicated team of officers are carrying out investigations and it is vital we trace the man responsible as soon as possible.
“I would urge anyone with information to come forward. If you were within the campsite or the surrounding area yesterday evening and noticed anything or anyone suspicious, please contact us.
“There will be a significant police presence in the area while the investigation is ongoing.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland.
