Mountain rescue teams have been deployed as part of a search for a missing Scots pensioner who was last seen getting off a bus in Callander a week ago.
William Hogg, 75, was last seen in CCTV images getting off at the bus stop at Ancaster Square, off Main Street in the town, at 12.46pm on Wednesday, October 5. Mercy crews, including both the Killin and Lomond mountain rescue teams, have so far been unable to trace William and police are continuing to appeal for information.
He is around 5ft 6ins tall, of muscular build, with grey hair and a moustache. He has tattoos on each forearm and wears glasses.
When last seen, he was wearing a navy-coloured bomber jacket, jeans and black and white trainers.
Inspector Alasdair Moreland, of Stirling Police Station, said: “We are growing increasingly concerned for William’s welfare, and I know his family and friends are extremely worried.
“Officers are continuing to carry out extensive enquiries in Callander and the surrounding area and are reviewing CCTV as part of enquiries.
“We would urge anyone with information on his whereabouts to please contact us or ask anyone with dash-cam footage, who has been driving in the Callander area please review it and get in touch with us if you think you’ve captured anything relevant.
“If you have seen William, or have any information which could assist, please call Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference number 3507 of October 5.”
On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Killin Mountain Rescue Team said: "The team have been out for a third day for the ongoing search for Falkirk man William Hogg. The search is focused in and around the Callander area.
"The team were assisted by our colleagues from Lomond MRT. Sadly at this point the gentleman has yet to be located."
