Police have launched an investigation after a man was found dead in woodland on the outskirts of Dundee.

Emergency services attended Templeton Woods around noon on Sunday following the discovery of the body of the 50-year-old.

Police said there were no suspicious circumstances and a report would be sent to the procurator fiscal.

One eyewitness told the Tele he saw a large emergency services presence in the area of the woods at about 11.30am.

The man, who asked not to be named, said a number of vehicles were parked next to the Gallowhill Water Tower.

He said: “There was one ambulance, four police cars and a fire appliance.”

A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirmed a crew was in attendance to assist the Scottish Ambulance Service.

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: “Police Scotland attended in Templeton Woods, Dundee, following a report of the sudden death of a 50-year-old man at about noon on Sunday October 9.

“There are no suspicious circumstances and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.”

Templeton Woods is situated in the north west of the city, to the north of Camperdown Park.

The area is a popular location for dog walkers.

However, it has an infamous reputation since the bodies of 18-year-old Carol Lannen and 20-year-old Elizabeth McCabe were found dumped there in 1979 and 1980 respectively.

Despite similarities between the two cases, detectives never believed the crimes — which remain unsolved — were linked.
