In the early hours of this morning (28 September), emergency services, including the RNLI lifeboat, were called to the south-west cliffs at the Giffoine, known locally as The Guns.
There, a body was discovered.
The person has not yet been formally identified, but police have confirmed the deceased is a woman.

He is in police custody, but is receiving treatment in hospital.
