The frantic family of a missing Scottish pensioner have renewed an appeal to help find him one year after his disappearance.
Both police and the loved ones of Paul Johnson, 75, have urged anyone with information to come forward after the Fife father and grandad went missing overnight.
Last seen leaving an address Hay Fleming Avenue in St Andrews around 10pm on September 15, Paul's family said "at no point" did they believe he wouldn't have been found one year later.

Following leaving the address at Hay Fleming Avenue, Paul was then seen a short time later around 10.45pm on Hepburn Gardens, at the junction with Lawhead Road.
Still without answers one year on, the family released a statement this week, with officers continuing to carry out extensive enquiries.
They said: “At no point when our wonderful Dad, husband and Grandad went missing on 15th September 2021 did it cross our minds that a year on we would still be searching for answers. We continue to move forward with hope.
“Our ability to move forward comes from the incredible support, friendship and care we receive from all around us in our community and beyond. We will always be grateful to you all.”

“Officers carried out extensive searches to locate Paul, including door-to-door enquiries, liaising with other agencies and reviewing CCTV footage. We continue to ask people with any possible sightings or information as to Paul’s whereabouts to get in touch with us.
“Any new information received will continue to be investigated fully and anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 0266 of 16 September, 2021.”
