Three people have been arrested after the discovery of a man's body in a car park at a nature reserve.

Steven Donaldson was discovered by two members of the public at Kinnordy Nature Reserve near Kirriemuir, Angus, at 5am on 7 June.

The offshore worker's white BMW M1 sports saloon car was last seen at 10.53pm on 6 June travelling through Kirriemuir, in a direction that would take him to the site.

A vehicle believed to be his was seen stationary within the car park at around 11pm that evening.

Police say three people - a 19-year-old woman and two men both aged 23 - have now been arrested in connection with the 27-year-old's death.

Officers have appealed for anyone who saw the car or was in the area on the evening of June 6 to contact them.

Detective Superintendent James Smith, of Police Scotland's major investigation team, said: "I would like to thank all those who have provided information and assistance in connection with this inquiry so far.

"Our inquiries are still ongoing and I would encourage anyone with information they think could assist to contact police on 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 if you would prefer to remain anonymous."
