CCTV shows West Lothian man boarding train six days ago before disappearing

A CCTV image has been released of a West Lothian man who vanished six days ago.

Ross Kinghorn was last seen boarding a train from Linlithgow, West Lothian, at around 6.30am on Monday January 16 when he was on his way to go a hike in the Bridge of Tilt area.

However after failing to make contact with loved ones since, there are growing concerns for his welfare.

The 57-year-old was captured on CCTV at Linlithgow train station on Monday but there has been no confirmed sightings of him after that and police have asked the public for help again as their search efforts continue.

As the Daily Record reports, Ross is described as a white male, 5ft 8ins tall, slim build, bald head and is believed to have been wearing a blue beanie hat, blue waterproof jacket, green fleece, grey walking trousers and brown boots when he vanished.

He is also understood to be carrying with him a small two-wheel trolley and small black rucksack.

Anyone with any information on Ross' whereabouts are being urged to come forward, and locals are being asked to check their sheds and outbuildings, too, for anything that may suggest that Ross passed through.

Inspector Kris McCall said, “As time passes we are becoming more concerned for Ross. We are carrying out extensive searches and reviewing CCTV in an effort to trace him.

“Today we have issued a second photograph of Ross which shows the clothing he was wearing when he was last seen. We hope it may help people recognise him.

“I would ask residents in the Bridge of Tilt area to check their sheds and outbuildings for any sign that he may have been there.

“I would also appeal to any hillwalkers who have visited Bridge of Tilt recently and may have information to contact police as soon as possible.”

Anyone who may have seen Ross is asked to contact police on 101 quoting 1588 of 20 January, 2023.
