An urgent search has been launched to find a man who went missing during a camping trip with friends over the weekend.
Reece Rodger, from Fife, was last seen in the Kinloch Rannoch area of Perthshire at 11.30pm on Saturday.
He had been camping on the shore of Loch Rannoch.
Friends of the 28-year-old told officers they believed he was going to bed when they last saw him.
There was no trace of him on Sunday morning.
Sergeant Lindsay Brown of Blairgowrie Police Station said: “We are extremely concerned for his safety as he is not dressed for the cold weather and he is not familiar with the area.
“Searches and inquiries are ongoing to trace him as soon as possible to ensure that he is safe and well.”
Mr Rodger is described as being 6ft tall, slim with dark-coloured hair.
He was wearing a black T-shirt and black jogging trousers.
Sgt Brown added: “I would urge anyone who has seen Reece, or who has any information on his whereabouts, to contact police. I would also ask anyone living in the local area to please check their outbuildings or sheds in case he has taken shelter there.”
Any information should be passed to 101 quoting reference number 1348 of March 19.
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
