Police searching for a man who vanished after getting on a bus to Ballater last week have asked residents to check their sheds and outbuildings in case he sought shelter. James Duncan disappeared after travelling on the 201 service from Aberdeen city centre, which departed at around 5.05pm on Tuesday October 18.
The 26-year-old got off the bus in the village at around 7pm before being spotted again at approximately 1.20am the following morning on Bridge Street. No further confirmed sightings have taken place since, with police growing increasingly concerned for his well being.
James is described as being around 6ft tall, with short, black hair with brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a dark outdoor hooded jacket, light blue jeans and black shoes.
