Police have seized more than 1,500 hours of CCTV footage in the hunt for a man who sexually assaulted an eight-year-old boy at a campsite in the Scottish Highlands.

The attacker preyed on the schoolboy after sneaking into his tent at the Loch Ness Bay campsite in Drumnadrochit between 12.20am and 1am on Thursday 31 July.

The child's family were in an adjacent tent. The father overheard the incident, and when he came out to investigate, he saw the suspect walking away from his son's tent.

One week on from the sexual assault , Police Scotland said more than 1,500 hours of CCTV footage have been seized and almost 100 properties visited as part of the inquiry.

The suspect has been described as a white man, aged between 35 and 50, around 5ft 10ins tall, and bald.
