That's interesting, we saw the tent on Sunday and Monday having been told by another camper that no one had returned to it. Had a look inside and there was a sleeping bag and mat but nothing else.

In reply to feepole:
I just spoke to the police (having seen the tent last Saturday) and got told they've located him: he's a geologist who was heading up and down the hill over the course of the week. Sounds like all's well.

In reply to Graham Pearson: That's great news. Dis sound a little bit ominous. Cheers, F

When bothying I've occasionally come across dossers or wanderers who live a fairly rough life in the Highlands during the summer. We found a bedroom in use by someone at Camasunary, to the evident annoyance of a large group who had left him a note admonishing him for occuplying an entire room. We found his disability benefits book and when back in Portree mentioned him to the local bobby whose wry reply was: "Oh, that's where he's staying at the moment, is it?"
