Police have said they have "considerable concern" for an elderly man who has been missing for a month.
They have issued a fresh appeal for information about William Elder, 81, who was last seen at 10.45am on Tuesday December 10 at his home address at James Court in Pitlochry, Perthshire.
His disappearance is said to be out of character and there is considerable concern for his welfare.
Mr Elder is 5ft, slim and has brown, greying hair.
When last seen, he was wearing a green wax jacket, black loose fitting trousers and brown boots.
He has difficulty walking, has a very distinctive limp and normally uses a walking stick.
Police Scotland said they are keen to speak with anyone who may have seen Mr Elder in and around the area of Pitlochry town centre.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
