Glensanda quarry
Emergency services were alerted to the quarry death on Sunday evening

A man has died in what is believed to have been an industrial accident at the Glensanda superquarry in the west Highlands.

A 999 call was made to police just before 1800 BST.

A spokesman for Northern Constabulary said they were dealing with the incident and had sent officers to the scene.

The quarry, which produces millions of tonnes of rock, is in a remote part of the Morvern Peninsula in Lochaber.
