The discovery was made after a woman and a child were reported missing at around 10pm on Tuesday night in Inverness, prompting a major police search.

The youngster was found dead shortly after 3am on Wednesday at the rear of Raigmore Hospital in the Highland city.

Northern Constabulary confirmed a 43-year-old woman had been arrested and said a report would be sent to the procurator fiscal.

The force had earlier appealed for anyone who saw a woman walking with a small girl near the hospital, between 7pm on Tuesday and the early hours of Wednesday morning, to get in touch.

Around 10 forensics officers scoured the area, including nearby bins and bushes.

The area was cordoned off with yellow police tape.

Uniformed police officers were at the scene, which is away from the main hospital building.

Raigmore Hospital is an acute general hospital with 577 beds and it employs more than 3,000 staff, according to NHS Highland's website.

It is also a clinical teaching centre, providing an undergraduate medical teaching site for the University of Aberdeen
