A man found unconscious in his car at a Loch Ness rock festival has died.

The 39-year-old from Tayside, who has not been named, was discovered by a member of the public in the early hours of yesterday.

Police and ambulance staff tried to resuscitate him, but he died shortly after arriving at Raigmore Hospital.

There were no suspicious circumstances, said a spokesman for Northern Constabulary. A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal, he added.

Meanwhile, seven people were arrested on Saturday for various offences, including drugs charges and breach of the peace. However, the second Rock Ness Festival has been hailed as a success otherwise.

The event, on the shores of Loch Ness, started at 12pm on Saturday and wrapped up around 11pm last night.

More than 60 acts, including the Manic Street Preachers, Daft Punk and the Chemical Brothers, performed on five stages for an estimated 35,000 fans during the two-day festival.

A spokesman for Northern Constabulary added: “It has been fairly peaceful.”

Ellen MacRae, owner of the Dor2es Inn on the shore of Loch Ness, said yesterday: “It’s gone well. There’s been no serious problems and everyone’s enjoying themselves. I was dancing all last night. When it’s on your doorstep, you have to enjoy it.”

• A £1 million bounty from the bookmaker William Hill has netted 30 sightings of the Loch Ness monster in just 24 hours from festival-goers. Fans were offered “Nessie Snapper” cameras to keep an eye on the water for the elusive creature.
