Stags on Rum found tangled in discarded fishing gear

Two of the animals on the Isle of Rum died after becoming snarled up together in discarded fishing rope.

Another of the deer was photographed with rope and an orange buoy in its antlers.

The images have been published by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), which manages Rum National Nature Reserve.

The photographs were taken a year ago, but only released now following rising concerns about marine pollution.
