A separate search for another missing hillwalker continues.

American Timothy Rosser, 60, was due to be out hillwalking in Glencoe. But he hasn’t been seen since leaving his hotel in Edinburgh in his black MG hire car (LE75 FNO) on Tuesday morning.

The car was spotted in Glencoe that day. He is described as a white man, around 6ft 2 and slim build, with short white hair.

Sergeant Lewis Macleod said: “Timothy has failed to check in to his pre-booked hotels in the area and it is out-of-character to not be in touch with his family. We are appealing for anyone with any information on his whereabouts, or who may have been hillwalking in the area on 19 May and seen anything which may assist our searches, to please come forward as soon as possible.”

Anyone with information should contact police on 101.
