A search resumed today for a man missing after a canoe capsized in a sea loch, claiming the lives of his two young sons and a five-year-old girl.

32-year-old Ewen Beaton was among six people, including four children, in the boat when it overturned in Loch Gairloch on Sunday afternoon. He is presumed dead.

His sons Jamie, two, and five-year-old Ewen died later that night after being rescued by helicopter from the water and airlifted to hospital. A third child, Gracie Mackay, died yesterday.
