A keen hillwalker has gone missing from his home in Inverkeithing, prompting a police appeal to find him. The Fife division of Police Scotland issued the pleas on their Facebook and Twitter feeds on Thursday night, hours after Mark Dickson, 53, was seen driving away from his home. They said they were becoming increasingly concerned for his safety.
Mr Dickson was last seen leaving his home in Niven Road in a grey Ford Focus Estate with the registration VRM HY64 at around 1.20pm on Thursday. He is described as white, around 5ft 8in tall, with a shaved head. When last seen, he was said to have been wearing a blue zip-up jacket, black jogging bottoms, grey trainers and sunglasses.
Inspector Paul Cochrane of Dunfermline Response Policing said: “We are becoming increasingly concerned about Mark’s welfare and are appealing for anyone who may have information surrounding his whereabouts. He is known to visit the Tyndrum area in Stirling and often goes hillwalking, recently in the Oban area.
