The search for a Scots hillwalker is raging on two weeks after his disappearance.
Finn Creaney, from the Tain area of the Highlands, was last seen around 2.15pm on Friday, March 25, having been dropped off at Loch Naver, on the B873 public road in Sutherland.
The keen hiker was due to start his planned walking route around the loch and south to Golspie. But the 32-year-old hasn't been seen since.
Since he vanished, police in the Highlands have carried out a number of searches by land, sea and air in a bid to find him - but to no avail so far.
Helicopter teams and rescue dogs have also been deployed to help with the search.
Officers say these efforts will continue over the weekend and are renewing their appeal for information to help trace Finn almost a fortnight on from when he was last seen.
Chief Inspector Kevin Macleod said : “It is almost two weeks since Finn went missing and his family remain greatly concerned.
“It is obvious from the response we have had that there is great concern in the community for Finn’s well-being.
“Since Finn was reported missing, a number of searches have been carried out by local officers who have been assisted by our colleagues in Operational Support Division and the Air Support Unit, along with our
partner agencies.
"This will continue over the weekend in effort to locate him."
“I ask that if you were walking in the area and hills between Altnaharra and Golspie recently to get in touch with us. It is possible you have a piece of information that could help progress our enquiries.
“I would like to thank the public for the tremendous support they have given so far.
“Anyone who may have seen Finn is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101 or speak to any officer quoting reference 0912 of 28 March.”
Finn is described as 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.
