A missing pensioner who vanished from a Scots village two days ago was last seen leaving a caravan park, police have confirmed.
James Cockburn, otherwise known as Jim, was reported missing from Town Yetholm in Dumfries and Galloway on Thursday, June 29. Following extensive search inquiries, police say the last sighting of the 86-year-old was at 8.50pm north of the Ancrum on the A68.
He was seen driving from a caravan park in his red Ford Fiesta with a registration ET18 XFO and was wearing a black patterned jumper, grey jogging bottoms and black shoes with white soles. James is described as 6ft, muscular build with broad shoulders, grey thinning hair and is clean shaven.
Holidaymakers have been asked to keep James in mind when visiting beauty spots and caravan parks this weekend.
Inspector David Robertson, from Melrose Police Station, said: “We are really seeking public help here due to the rural location and complex road network, as well as being close to the Border with Northumberland. We are asking the public to check their outbuildings and sheds and landowners to check field boundaries.
"If you're out in beauty spots or caravan parks this weekend, please keep the search for Jim in mind." "If you may have seen Jim or his car, or have any information on his whereabouts, please call police on 101, quoting incident number 3837 of 29 June, 2023."
