The two men were reported missing at Gartmorn Dam Country Park on Christmas Eve

A second body has been recovered from a reservoir in Clackmannanshire after a search for a 44-year-old man missing for three weeks.

It follows the recovery of 55-year-old Ian McBurney's body from Gartmorn Dam Country Park, Sauchie, on Boxing Day.

Police had been made aware of "concern for two men" at the dam on Christmas Eve.

A Police Scotland spokesman said the second man's body was recovered at about 17:00 on Sunday.

He added: "He has been identified as a 44-year-old man reported missing in the area on 24 December."

Local reports suggest the men may have been fishing at the site.
