Police have launched an investigation into the death of a cyclist who was found on a road in Aberdeenshire.
The 60-year-old man was discovered unwell by the side of the B9119 close to Lumphanan, near Aberdeen, at around 11.25am on Friday January 15.

“He was using a white pedal cycle.
“The road is still currently closed while we continue our investigation.
