Public asked not to approach Scots man missing for almost two weeks

Members of the public have been asked not to approach a Scots man who has been missing for almost two weeks.

James Clacher, from Bellshill, Lanarkshire was last seen in Airdrie at around 4pm on Monday, May 30.

He is a keen walker who regularly covers large distances and it's believed that he may have travelled through the Tyndrum area.

The 53-year-old's car, a Suzuki Swift, has been traced to the Loch Long car park in Arrochar, Argyll and Bute, since his disappearance.

Police Scotland previously said they were "extremely concerned" for James' welfare.

They added it was "completely out of character" for him to not be in contact with his family and friends.

On Tuesday June 7, a week on from when James was reporting missing, they spoke to 90 people in both Tyndrum and Arrochar.

Now, officers are asking members of the public not to approach him if they come across him and get in touch with them instead.

James has been described as 5ft 6ins tall, of an athletic build and bald.

He is thought to have been wearing grey cargo style trousers with a black jacket or poncho, a black hat and black trainers when last seen.

Anyone with any information on James Clacher's whereabouts can call 101 and quote reference no. 0985 of Tuesday, May 31, 2022.
