Concern for missing teenager, 17, after he failed to return home from hillwalk

CONCERN is growing for a teenager who has been missing overnight and failed to return home from a hillwalk in the Highlands.

Isaac Johnson was reported missing around 11pm on Saturday August 12 after he did not return to his home in Glenmoidart.

The 17-year-old set off for his walk around lunchtime on Saturday and was believed to be walking in the area south of Greag Nan Lochan before heading north east after that.

A multi-agency search involving police, coastguard and mountain rescue teams has been launched to trace him.

He was last seen wearing shorts, a rain jacket and walking boots and was carrying an Adidas bag.

Police said that there have yet to be any sightings despite extensive searches.

Anyone with information is being urged to contact the emergency services.

Chief Inspector Donna Allan said: “Isaac set off on his walk around lunchtime on Saturday and has failed to return home, and we are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.

“This is an extremely worrying time for his family.

“We believe he was walking in the area south of Greag Nan Lochan and headed north east after that.

“Officers, coastguard, and mountain rescue teams are carrying out extensive searches but there have been no confirmed sightings of him.

“I would urge anyone with any information on Isaac’s whereabouts to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting 4427 of August 12, 2023.”
