Tayside Police has confirmed that enquiries are still ongoing to trace a hillwalker reported missing over two months ago.
Ross Kinghorn travelled by train on Monday, January 16 from Linlithgow to Blair Atholl, where he planned to camp on Glen Tilt and climb the three peaks of Beinn a’ Ghlo over the course of three days.
The 57-year-old was then reported missing on Friday, January 20 after failing to return home as planned.
Scottish Mountain Rescue stepped in to help the police in its search with helicopters brought in at the start of February to sweep the vast terrain for any signs of him.
However, Ross remains missing.
He is described as white, 5ft 8in tall, slim build, with a bald head and is believed to be wearing a blue beanie hat, blue waterproof jacket, green fleece, grey walking trousers and brown boots.
He was wearing a dark puffa style jacket under his waterproof. He had a blue, silver and black walking pole along with small black rucksack and blue North Face gloves.
He was also in possession of a small two-wheeled trolley, which was recovered as police renewed their appeals in January.
His partner Crystal Rog made a heartfelt plea to people in the Blair Atholl area at the start of March to help trace him.
In a statement on Facebook, she said: “We are appealing to any hillwalkers, hill runners and cyclists who are in the area to please look out for any items which may be linked to Ross.
“In particular around ascent and descent routes (including lesser known routes) from Carn Liath, Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain and Carn nan Gabhar.
“Any information may prove crucial in helping us to find him.”
