Pensioner missing in Highlands for three weeks as marathon runners urged to 'be vigilant'

Scots set to run a marathon in the Highlands are being urged to look out for a pensioner who has been missing for almost a month.

Glyn Smith was last seen around Benmore Lodge near Loch Ailsh on Thursday, April 28.

It's believed the 76-year-old was embarking on a walking tour of the north of Scotland.

Glyn, from Cambridgeshire, England was meant to meet a group of friends for a planned trip but did not show up.

He has not been in touch with loved ones who are 'becoming increasingly concerned'

Glyn is described as white, five foot, six inches tall and of a slim build.

When he was last seen it’s believed he was wearing outdoor-type clothing and was carrying a rucksack

Glyn is also known to use a green, one-person tent while travelling.

Highland and Islands Police Division released a statement on Saturday.

It read: "Officers are continuing to appeal for help to trace Glyn Smith who was last seen in the Highlands almost a month ago.
