Further searches are being carried out for a hillwalker who has been missing for five days as concern grows for his welfare.
Robin Garton, 69, has not been seen since he checked out of his hotel in the Glencoe area of the Highlands at about 8am on Friday September 25.
He had planned to travel north to meet friends in the Kinlochewe area on Sunday but failed to meet them as arranged. He was reported missing on Monday.
Officers found his black Volkswagen Passat estate car in the Achnambeithach car park, off the A82 by Loch Achtriochtan.
It is thought he may have planned to walk in the Coire Nam Beith or Bidean Nam Bian areas.
Searches were conducted in the Glencoe area yesterday with assistance from Glencoe MRT (mountain rescue team), RAF MRT, Search and Rescue Dog Association (SARDA) Scotland and HM Coastguard Rescue Helicopter 951 (Inverness).
Police Scotland are co-ordinating further searches today in the Aonach Eagach Ridge, Bidean nam Bian, Stob Coire nam Beith and Stob Coire nan Lochan areas of Glencoe.
They are being assisted by Glencoe MRT, Lochaber MRT, Oban MRT, RAF MRT, SARDA Scotland and HM Coastguard Rescue Helicopter.
Officers are appealing for information about any sightings of Mr Garton.
A police spokesman said: "Mr Garton is described as 6ft 2ins in height, of slim to medium build, he has fair hair which is slightly balding and occasionally wears glasses.
"It is not known what he was wearing but it is believed that he was hillwalking in the Glencoe area.
"With the last sighting of Mr Garton being Friday morning, concern is now growing for his welfare. Anyone who has seen Mr Garton or his vehicle is urged to contact police on 101."
