A 30-year-old man was arrested in connection with the recovery. He will be subject of a report to the Procurator Fiscal.

Detective Sergeant Joe Newson at Aviemore Police Station said: “We will continue to stamp out any drug related activity as there is no place for drugs and the misery they bring in our communities.
