Police are growing increasingly concerned for a missing hillwalker who was last seen in the Sc ottish Highlands three days ago.
Finn Creaney was dropped off at Loch Naver on the B873 public road in Sutherland around 2.15pm on Friday which was the start of his planned walking route.
The 32-year-old, from the Tain area, planned to walk the route around Loch Naver and South to Golspie, where his vehicle was situated.
But he has not been seen or heard from since.
Searches remain ongoing in the area with the assistance of Assynt Mountain Rescue Team and a coastguard helicopter.
Finn is described as being 5ft 11in tall, of slim build with light complexion and freckles on his arms and nose.
He has long brown hair down to his lower back and a full brown beard which is short in length.
He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, a long brown leather jacket which goes down to his knees, dark coloured trousers, brown waterproof boots and was carrying a green rucksack.
Sergeant Mike Gallie, of Easter Ross and Sutherland Policing Team, said: “We are growingly increasingly concerned for Finn as this is out of character for him.
“I would urge anyone who believes they may have seen Finn or spoken to him at any time since he was last seen in the area to get in touch with officer.
“Anyone with information should call 101, quoting reference 0912 of 28 March.”
