Climbers found a piano on top of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain, while on a trip to remove litters and stones from the summit:

"Our guys couldn’t believe their eyes," said trust director Nigel Hawkins.

"At first they thought it was just the wooden casing but then they saw the whole cast iron frame complete with strings. …

"We have a constant battle against litter being left on Britain’s highest mountain – but this elevates being a litter lout sky high into a completely different category. We are now trying to track down who took it there.

When the news broke, Kenny Campbell, a former Highland Games athelete claimed responsibility:

He said: "I carried an organ weighing 226lb to the summit and played Scotland the Brave on it and I had some Norwegian tourists who were up on the summit and they were dancing."
